| Subject: Idiot in Government: President Macron joins push to elevate French baguette to Unesco world treasure status Tue Jan 16, 2018 9:29 pm | |
| The baguette is one of France’s most famous symbols alongside the Eiffel Tower.
So much so that many French bakers want the crusty, thin loaves to be protected as a world treasure by Unesco, the U.N. cultural organization. And they have gained the support of French President Emmanuel Macron, a likely boost for bakers in their campaign to join the list of Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage.
"The baguette is envied in the entire world,” Macron told French radio Europe 1 Friday. “I know our bakers; they saw that the Neapolitans managed to have pizza as part of world heritage, so they said, 'Why not the baguette?' And they're right.”
