A baguette crisis is threatening Paris
In Paris, the iconic baguette is so beloved that historic laws insist upon bakers curtailing their holidays to remain open throughout the summer months.
Now, those laws have been scrapped in a bid to cut red tape, leaving the city's bakers free to take the summer off – which has sparked fears of an impending baguette crisis.
The rules had ensured that roughly half of France's bakers would stay open throughout July and August, while those who did close were forced to post signs on their windows pointing to the nearest alternative. (MTI)
