Baguette is a symbol of French culture. It’s impossible not to associate this yummy crispy bread to a delicious french breakfast. In fact, it’s basicaly consumed along with all meals.
With so many good options in Paris it must be a tough task (but a tasty adventure) to pick the best in town, the one among all which has the perfect combination of crust, crunch and appearance. Someone has to do the hard job, right? Since 1993, the Paris Mayor’s office has been running the “Grand Prix de la Baguette de Tradition Française de la Ville de Paris” annually.
Imagine how hard it is to get this oscar once! The senegalese head baker, Djibril Bodian, did it twice by winning the 2010 and 2015 Grand Prix! His fabulous boulangerie “Le Grenier à Pain” is located in Montmartre and first thing you’ll see is the 2015 announcement proudly displayed on the front window.
Just as you walk in, the smell of hot fresh bread makes your mouth water. They have a great variety of breads, but of course I had the famous baguette! De li cious! Can’t explain much… you have to try it!
