French bakery laws

The baguette is such an important constitutional baton[1] that:

  • Parisienne bakers (being boulangers a Paris, and not bakers of parisiennes) are ob;liged by law not to all take their holidays at the same time, and are divided into “Juillet” and “Août” teams[2]
  • It is forbidden by law dating from 1921 for any boulanger to sell bread seven days in a row. No idea how that assists the constitution, but there you have it.[3]
