It took almost 200 baguettes and a lot of organization to meet the challenge.

Sunday afternoon, at the Laval racecourse (Mayenne), a strange record was broken: that of the longest rillette sandwich in the world!

At the initiative of the departmental federation of bakers of 53, this giant snack, made by dozens of bakers, pork butchers and volunteers, finally reached the size of… 81.20 meters long, validated by a bailiff .

We did it, The #record of the biggest #sandwich is for @lamayenne!

According to the bakers' federation, 196 baguettes and 50 kg of rillettes were needed to make this sandwich, then cut into portions and sold for the benefit of an association.

The previous record was set in November 2019 in Tours, thanks to a sandwich of 74.40 meters.

That is two meters more than the giant sandwich prepared at Le Mans a few months earlier.
