In the Paris suburb of Suresnes, a group of chefs recently baked the world’s longest baguette, setting a new Guinness World Record with a length of 435.1 feet. This achievement surpassed the previous record set by Italian bakers in Como.
The team was thrilled to have broken the record and were proud that it happened in France. The impressive baguette was made according to French code at the Suresnes Baguette Show, and was an astonishing 235 times longer than a traditional baguette loaf.
