There are trophies which may not be glorious for some people, but for others they are the recognition of many years of hard but passionate work. The « Grand Prix de la Baguette de la Ville de Paris » rewards the best Baguette of Capital. On March 20th, 161 bakers brought their best baguettes to the competition hoping to gain one of the most wanted prizes in France.
