The winner of this grand prize, artisan baker Damien Dedun, stood out from his 134 other competitors, thanks to a baguette that was judged on its appearance, its cooking quality, the consistency of its crumb, its smell and of course its taste.
A prize that will allow the lucky winner to “officially supply the kitchens of the Elysée Palace” for a year, recalls the municipality, in addition to receiving an endowment of 4,000 euros.
A prestigious contract, which fell through last year, when the winner of the best baguette in Paris was overtaken by a controversy, suspected of having relayed “Islamist messages”, critical or even hostile to France .
