Baguettes in Paris

During our recent trip to Paris we often found ourselves enjoying some of the best baguettes we've ever had anywhere at anytime. They were always just wonderful. We actually began our new love of baguettes in London the previous week with baguette sandwiches we ate from the lunch counters at some of the museums we visited. They were always affordable, available and delicious. 

We speculated that the baguettes in London were so called because of the only two hour train ride from Paris. People were going back and forth between London and Paris all the time. London was getting the advantage of Paris food including baguettes.

We had many meals in Paris where baguettes were served and we had sandwiches with them for lunch at cafes several times. We loved the meats and cheeses served with them. 

On our first full day in Paris we came across a baguette baking festival across the way from the Notre Dame Cathedral located in a temporary building and tent. We walked through the exhibits and marveled at all the baguettes not only from Paris and other parts of France but from all over the world. There was even a group of bakers from the US making baguettes.
