Baguettes for sale
Bread is a very important basic food in France, and is eaten with most meals. Most French bread comes in the form of a long crusty roll known as a baguette. Baguettes are bought fresh every morning from the boulangerie or bakery. They have to be eaten on the same day as they are bought, because they go stale very quickly. As in the UK, the French make "lost bread" to use up bread which has gone slightly stale. In France it is called pain perdu.
