Essonne: where can you find the best traditional 2024 baguette in the department?

In the run-up to the latest edition of the Fête du Pain in Paris, departmental competitions for the best traditional baguette are multiplying. After Seine-Saint-Denis and Seine-et-Marne, it'sEssonne 's turn to unveil the results of its 2024 competition.

For this 9th edition of the gourmet competition, the jury evaluated more than 39 baguettes from the bakeries of Essonne. To decide between them, the jury took into account a number of criteria, including the baguette's appearance, baking, taste, crumb and smell.
