In Suresnes, France, a team of chefs has set a new Guinness World Record for the world’s longest baguette. The baguette, which measures 435.1 feet long, was baked in accordance with French code and surpassed the previous record set by Italian bakers in Como.
The bakers were thrilled to break the record and proudly displayed it in front of members of the public at the Suresnes Baguette Show. To achieve a Guinness World Record, individuals or groups must submit evidence of their attempt for review by the organization. They may also apply to have an adjudicator witness the attempt.
Standard applications can take up to 16 weeks to review, while paid, priority applications take up to five business days. Achieving a record requires careful planning and execution, as well as verification of the attempt. However, for those who are determined to set a new record, it can be a fulfilling accomplishment that is celebrated around the world.
