When Bread Celebrates Sports
With France hosting the Olympics this year, the National Confederation of French Bakers and Pastry Chefs (CNBPF) is naturally joining in the festivities by celebrating theon the occasion of the 27thedition edition of the Fête du Pain.
Under the theme “Bread Celebrates Sports,” the goal is to highlight the passion, determination, and team spirit that drive both bakers and athletes. They share the same commitment to rigor and precision; every action is carried out meticulously with professional skill.
Bread also offers nutritional benefits that appeal to athletes: it’s a source of complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy.
Demonstrations and tastings on the square in front of Notre-Dame de Paris
Our technical advisors from Grands Moulins de Paris will take part in demonstrations organized by the Greater Paris Bakers’ Guild on the forecourt of Notre-Dame throughout the event, from Tuesday, May 7, to Thursday, May 16. This participation is very important to us, as the expertise of millers helps highlight the expertise of French bakers and presents a positive image of our professions as millers and bakers.
On Tuesday, May 7, students from the Paris School of Baking and Pastry will also take part in the demonstrations, as training the talents of tomorrow is key to passing on our expertise.
