    We have 4 boulangeries in our ville and they operate a rotation system whereby 1 closes on X day and the other 3 open, then next day the closed one opens and one of the others shuts. It's the same day each week so I guess it keeps all of them having a day off and spreads the pennies around. In a 2100 resident ville we are well catered for. Unless it's Monday of course in which case everyone starves 😂 Unless you have bread based grub all day!

    Baguettes!
    In 1991 moved to Lyon France; to live with the franch man I meet while on vacation in Porto Rico.
    We did long distance for three years. Me going there and him visiting me in New England USA.
    The story about the Baguettes is every time I went I would put up my pointer finger to say 1 Baguette and always got two.
    Until my boyfriend saw me and said that was number two and to put up my thumb for one.
    We had laugh; needless to say we always got two anyway because, y boyfriend would have half of one eaten by the time we'd get home.
    I love following you both; because I stayed there until 1999 when my mother was dying.
    Every gay man can't be with their mother when dying. But every year I stay in Antibe for about three months out of the year.
    Love you guy's and thank you allowing me the opportunity to follow you both. ❤

    We drove past your car (well overtook you) a couple of weeks ago on the outskirts of Nice and now you pop up on the timeline.
    We don't disagree with you that you're winner produces excellent baguettes, although we have found that bakery to be a little inconsistent quality wise. In Nice we usually buy from a bakery (Le Petit Moulin on Boulevard de la Madelaine), which is consistently good (although they too seem to have a second string baker who isnt quite as good as the owner). Its personal taste of course though. My wife will drive miles to get the best baguette. Something about being French. BTW the quality varies with the weather (high/low humidity)
    My wife's current best Baguette Tradition is from the Boulangerie des Oliviers, Cros de Cagnes. A daily 25 minute walk for me currently.

    Best baguettes smell of underarm perspiration and traffic fumes from being brought back from the local boulanger on a bike. They must be crispy enough to make your gums bleed and go stale within the hour which makes your test unscientific. Real baguettes are replenished at every meal.

    Lads, honest comment not an assault, I just don't get the context as to best baguette, (as a french visitor with a bit of brain left)
    Whilst there was a listing with prices as you went along, there was zero context as to ingredients likely differing (flour type / grade for instance) local price regulation resulting in cheaper/ -est ingredients & the difference between bread types..
    Décret Pain. (being made in the same place they are sold) ?
    & where was the mention of the invaluable cloth french bread bag (which IS a useful gift for "back-ome" viewers, often wonder why these aren't sold in Mr Morrisons (now sold to a yank company, ...is there anything left to be proud of in Bradford now)!? ..the bread bag does extend life (if you tie the drawstring) & is handy to keep a few par-bakes in for the apocalpyse / bread-geddon, wouldn't be without ours, cheap gift for the enlightened in the uk too ;)
    How much flour / bread prices have risen since those russian twats went into ukraine. (half your cost is labour itself based on now outdated 2022 prices from a mundane bbc report)
    Differences to ask / look for between yer breads..
    Heathen bread (if we tourists REALLY must have a familial toaster sliceable sandwich bread ) "Pain de mie" because being so used to british ways, the wrong bread in the morning is a bit like being offered a mug of water when you quaff 3 cups of tea to get your brain started, ..marmite on a morning baguette!? a sensory deprivation travesty when you wake up in foreign climes that leaves me twitchy (yes, I always pack my marmite)
    Speaking of sinful, a mini (2 bite) ciabatta from starbucks with a wee slab of cheese n' marmite is £5.20 ...I got one in a "too good to go" app bag the other day ..if they have that round your way, i'd love to see what is on offer with these mystery bags (edit, yes you do: www.toogoodtogo.com/fr ) a video or two in itself maybe, we have fun with the app, having recently found an artisanal cafe bakery, the other one that is good here is our local BP garage with an M&S foodstore inside, ..tres generous!
    And for context a uk starbucks (daft if you go there really) an almond croissant from the same place is £3.10
    Treat us to the down-low on a good fougasse bread (for the bread virgins, it's france's version of italian focaccia bread) we've seen you chow down on fougasse a good few times in Elton now, time to enlighten the crowd maybe?
    (i'd eat a warm cheesey fougasse over sandwich bread for breakfast any day)
    Are we going to see some boudin noir at any point, or is it to low brow out your way? ..an episode on common sense breaking the taboo's associated with "very french" foods would be appreciated, such as how many folk eat mussels, squid, octopus etc but blanche at the thought of garlic snails, which even lidl sells in the uk periodically, nowt wrong wi' rustique foodstuffs.
    & lads, give it up to the audience, regarding both of your obsessions with the almost episodical mention / consumption of french egg mayonnaise WHICH I honestly thought you were going to whip out a cool box full of "here's one I made earlier" of Oeuf Mayo appetizer to dip in the vast excess of bread from this episode. (oh, Mr Boo)
    PS, don't forget the (sweet) pickled brown mustard seed!
