Undisputedly considered the most romantic city in the world, Paris is a city of passion and culture. Iconic sites like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris add a special effect to the air—one of unique beauty. The legendary Louvre, with it’s glass pyramid and tens of thousands important works of art, is a staple of any trip to Paris. Love and passion saturate this city and, even more importantly, the cuisine.
French food is world-renowned for good reason. The richness of flavor from everyday fresh ingredients deserves a spot at the top in the culinary world. Though simplicity doesn’t mean easy. The preparation process is often precise and lengthy, but absolutely worth it.
A daily staple in parts of French culture, the baguette is a perfect example of simplicity done right. The competition for best baguette is a serious ordeal in Paris, especially according to the Grand Prix de la Baguette. The honor of this 2018 culinary competition went to 10 final contestants.
