The festival this year was May 21-30, 2016 in front of the Notre Dame. There were tents, music, and bakers galore! Everyone has their stations set up under the tent where they are actively baking fresh bread, pastries, and sandwiches. Some even had classes where they were teaching local children's groups how to bake pretzels. It was wonderful to see how professional bakers get children involved and spark interest for the future.
The smell was heavenly, and the food was divine. We all shared multiple different pastries and it was one of the highlights of our day. It was such a fun way to see a different side of Paris and French culture. read more
