UNESCO announces a positive decision on France’s application for the inscription of the French baguette on the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List. The decision was made within the framework of the 17th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, which is taking place in Morocco.
Baguette was elected as a candidate for inclusion in the UNESCO list from France last spring. Among its competitors were the zinc roofs of Paris and the Arbois wine festival, but in the end it was the culinary symbol of the country that is associated with the French way of life, like a glass of wine or a striped sailor suit.
The application for the inclusion of the baguette recipe in the UNESCO list was originally submitted by the federation of French bakers, pointing to an important economic component of the national bakery production.
