Traveling to France
I am in the planning stage of putting together a trip to France. From a bread bakers perspective what should I do, see, and eat?
Thank you,
Frank

Couldn't resist sharing a link to David Lebovitz's post:

and how about Sanyo's GoPan! This rice bread machine was released in November and has been a hit in Japan with sales beyond their projections. In Japanese cooked rice is called 'gohan' and bread is called 'pan' so they've come up with a cute name for the machine combining the kanji for rice and kana for bread and assigning the pronunciation GoPan (米ぱん)
Hi,
On my trip to Paris last month, I got a chance to visit the famous Poilane bakery. I've been wanting to visit it since reading about it in BBA as well as hearing what others have said about it. And finally, I had the chance so I thought I'd share with everyone.
I arrived in the neighbourhood at around 11AM on a Thursday, so it wasn't very crowded. Nice neighbourhood, btw:
This is one of my first posts, though I've been a long-time and avid viewer.
Last month I was in Paris and had a chance to visit a few bakeries. So I thought I'd share some pics here with everyone.
This post is about Gosselin's bakery. I went to the one on St Honore St (the original?) but these photos are from his other bakery on St Germain St.
Hi all,
I was searching the 'net for possible tips on re-creating Boulangier Paul's "flute ancienne" and came across this rather old, but interesting, bulletin-board/blog/discussion. There are some really good posts, there.
Someone asked the question: "Why are French baguettes better than others?" There were some interesting answers. This may be useful to bakers around this neighbourhood. No questions from me, for a change...just posted FYI...
