my day spent in a french bakery!

So this is what goes on behind-the-scenes at the bakeries here in Paris, where even a small, family-owned bakery makes at least 800 baguettes a day!! Not to mention the 4am morning shifts... Culinary school might have shown me the ropes, but this BTS tour really showed me the sheer amount of work that goes into the art of bread-making. I am in awe.

Thank you to La Boulangerie Du Square, Frances and Christian for accommodating me! And thank you to Chef Eric for making this very spontaneous, and very special tour possible!! Highly highly recommend checking out the bakery if you're in Paris.

That was crazy! Imagine how much faster they'd be moving if they hadn't slowed down just to show you. Super cool. And super cool of them to show you and let you show us!

The pastry sampling was something out of a dream

Thank you thank you for this - especially all the subtitles of what the bakers were saying, and your notes about things on screen - at the speed of the video - amazing information just a delight to watch your joy!

that bread separating/weighing machine is so cool!!!

I know it’s probably weird to have noticed this but I was impressed by how clean the subway was. Also by how much they try to reduce waste and use scraps and leftovers. Jealous of this experience 😍🤤

I'm just dying with your "Flat au chocolat" thing xD As a French person, it's just so funny to hear my language being tranformed like that ! You're so precious ♥ France will wait your comeback ! Bisous !

What a pleasure it must have been to witness the inner workings of a French boulangerie! I definitely would not have been able to leave without multiple goodies.

I love watching your life adventures. Being a big introvert it makes me feel like I’m experiencing the world through your videos. 😊

how kind of the chef to set that up and for them of course to allow it! Great little behind the scenes 😊and I can imagine it was indeed very good for you to see that side of things as well.

I have no intention of ever attending culinary school but I'm always happy to learn new things and watch you cook and talk about food. 😊

Loved watching the BTS of a French bakery! That dough dividing machine was incredible! Love how kind and amazing the pastry chefs were! ❤ And they all speak English too!
