The United Nations’ cultural agency may consider the making of French bread, known as the baguette, for its list of “intangible treasures.” Bakers in France asked the French government to propose the traditional bread for the honor from UNESCO. About 6 million baguettes are sold every day in France. The French minister of culture will make a recommendation to UNESCO in March. The baguette is competing against two other candidates for France’s nomination. The candidates are the metal rooftops of buildings in Paris, made from zinc, and a wine festival in the country’s Jura area. In 2020, UNESCO considered things such as a dance in Zambia, camel racing in the United Arab Emirates and pottery making in Serbia for its list of treasures.
