It's that time of year again. The tradition continues with our annual announcement of the official Best Baguette in Paris. The Grand Prix de la Baguette de la Ville de Paris was held on March 22, 2010 and the big winner this year is: Djibril Bodian from Le Grenier à Pain in Montmartre (38 rue des Abbesses, 18th arrondissement). Bodian is no stranger to Grand Prix competition. He came in 5th place in 2009 and 4th place in 2007 before taking the top prize this year. Bodian beat out more than 160 other Parisian bakers to win the honor, garnering a cash prize of €4,000 and a contract to keep President Nicolas Sarkozy in baguettes throughout the coming year. Just try to find a photo of this guy!!
Check out Paris Notebook for a full account of this event and Congratulations Monsieur Bodian!!
