Judging The Best Baguette In Paris Competition

It's not every day that you get invited to spend an afternoon sitting in a small room overlooking the Seine with an MOF or two, the president of la Chambre professionnelle des artisans boulangers-pâtissiers de Paris ,  a delightful fromagère, Djibril Bodian,  the winner  of last year's Best Baguette in Paris competition and, most importantly, two long tables lined with baguettes. 155 baguettes to be exact.

Clams and sea snails and delicious, tender  salicornes . Sign for the locally made fish soup. I love his face! Low tide. It's étrille season, a tiny local crab that tastes like lobster. They were busy filling bag after bag with the live crabs for customers. Port-en-Bessin is famous for its scallops , and there is evidence of that everywhere. Local oysters from Asnelles-sur-Mer .
