le Baguette

Sometimes stereotypes exist for a reason.  And watching Montpellier's denizens queue up for baguettes on Sunday morning lent proof to the French nation's love for bread.  Baguettes down the street, baguettes on bicycle, baguettes en masse.

I was that creeper trying to take discrete photos on my iPhone:

Who can blame the French?  They make bloody good bread--inexplicably crunchy yet soft and delicious.  So good I couldn't resist.
