Underground, the workers would get worked up and deadly fights would burst on daily. At the time, each worker had to carry a knife to cut the large loaves of bread at lunchtime.<\/p>\n<p>So the people in charge of the construction of the metro asked bakers to create a longer and thinner bread loaf \u2013 the baguette \u2013 that could be cut by hand without using a knife. That way, they were able to forbid knives underground and make the daily fights between workers less deadly.<\/p>\n<p>Another story that French people like to tell is that after a law forbidding bakers to wake up before 4 am, they had to come up with a type of bread that did not need as much time to rise as traditional bread \u2013 hence the creation of the baguette.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14943\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14943\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jacques-louis_david_006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jacques-louis_david_006.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jacques-louis_david_006-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jacques-louis_david_006-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jacques-louis_david_006-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jacques-louis_david_006-816x514.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The crowning of Napol\u00e9on by Jacques Louis David<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A third very French story links the creation of the baguette to the wars of famous French general Napol\u00e9on.

The baguette would have been invented in Vienna by an Austrian baker called August Zang and imported in France during the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century.

In the bakery itself, the act of buying the baguette is quite codified. When ordering your baguette, the baker will ask you \u201c<em>et avec ceci?\u201d<\/em> (and with that?) to which you can answer \u201c<em>ce sera tout<\/em>\u201d (that will be all).<\/p>\n<p>Most French people will discretely cut the edge of their baguette and eat in on their way home. If you come early in the morning, your baguette will still be warm from the oven. It is a clich\u00e9 that French people eat croissant every morning; however we do eat baguette with butter and jam every morning.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14944\" style=\"width: 344px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14944\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/french-toasts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/french-toasts.jpg 334w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/french-toasts-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14944\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">French Toasts &#8211; Source: Unsplash<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If your baguette stays overnight, put it in a plastic bag with holed \u2013 you will have to grill it the following morning or else it will be too soft.
