Tout le monde a une baguette

This kid struggles to contain his baguettes while reaching for his keys.


In France, everyone has a baguette.  Seemingly at all times.  The French carry their baguettes any way they can:

1. Sticking out of the top of a backpack (C tried this way in St. Loupe sur Thouet)
2. Carried against the handlebars while riding a bike
3. Held haphazardly while carrying several baguettes at once
4. In the front basket of a bike
5. In the rear basket of a bike
6. In the undercarriage of a stroller

Baguettes carried under the arm.

  1. Great picture story... didn't realize that baguettes were, like, REALLY endemic to the French landscape. I've only seen them standing up in that bushel basket at the supermarket bakery! (Soft yet crispy... mmmm)

  3. Oh great. Now I MUST go buy a good baguette (which can be hard to find). What a great item to (virtually) share with everyone. Thanks C + A.
