As famous as the Eiffel Tower, the French baguette receives UNESCO World
UNESCO lists the French baguette in the cultural heritage of humanity

The French baguette, a symbol of this country around the world and an essential element of the French diet for 100 years, now belongs to UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The baguette, made from wheat flour, water, yeast, salt and "a little French knowledge", is part of UNESCO. Its dough should rest for 15-20 hours at a temperature of 4-6 degrees Celsius.

The French baguette is as iconic to the French as the Eiffel Tower.

The UNESCO statement states that the baguette is "the most popular type of bread enjoyed and consumed in France throughout the year".

With this new status of the baguette, the French government has said it wants to create a day dedicated to artisanal baguettes, called "Open Oven Day", to bring the French closer to their heritage. Despite the decline in the number of traditional bakeries, 67 million French people continue to be consumers of baguettes, bought at various points, including supermarkets.

A baguette usually costs less than a euro and is considered by some to be an indicator of the health of the French economy.

The exact origin of the baguette is unknown. Some think the bread was ordered by Napoleon because it was easier for soldiers to carry, while others suggest it came later, an easy bread for workers to split without the need for a knife. Still others appreciate an Austrian baker in the 1830s for his form.

At that time strict rules were put in place for what was classified as a baguette, standardized at 80cm and 250g. It even had a fixed price until 1986.

The baguette joins other foods and culinary cultures on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, including Neapolitan pizza making, kimchi, Belgian beer culture, the "Mediterranean diet" and Arabic coffee.
