In a few days, the French baguette could enter the intangible heritage of Unesco.

While waiting for this global recognition, a virtual exhibition has been launched by Google to honor the most famous French food in the world, reports BFMTV.

The cultural route is accessible online on Google's Arts & Culture space.

Baptized "The baguette, a French icon", the exhibition includes thousands of documents, more than 2,000 photos, paintings or iconographies.

A total of 77 virtual and interactive sections are offered to visitors.


While @UNESCO_fr must decide next week whether the baguette is worthy of world heritage, @googlearts & Culture is devoting a rich online exhibition to it to honor the know-how, tradition and artisan bakers https:/ /t.co/5Upyr45P4d

First exhibition on gastronomy

Through these documents, the whole history of the baguette is traced: its birth, its know-how, its place in the world… The baker's trade has not been forgotten and the organizers even hope to encourage vocations.

"Bread is a constituent of our civilization, perhaps the main one", explains Vincent Ferniot, gastronomic journalist and editorial manager of the project.

This exhibition has been in progress for two years.

“We did a real curation job with the project partners to have quality archives, great stories, anecdotes,” the manager told BFMTV.

“We wanted this virtual exhibition to be a reference work on the baguette and French know-how around bread.

The youngest are not forgotten, with a video game that aims to find all the ingredients needed to make bread through different landscapes.

“This is our first exhibition dedicated to gastronomy.

But it seemed unavoidable to us,” concludes the head of partnerships at Google Arts & Culture.

The exhibition is available in all languages ​​and in all countries.
