Félicitations to Djibril Bodian of Le Grenier à Pain Abbesses for winning First Prize in the 2015 Grand Prix de la Baguette de Tradition Française de la Ville de Paris, a.k.a. The Best Baguette in Paris Competition. If Bodian’s name sounds familiar, it’s because the Senegalese born, second generation baker also won the top prize five years ago. His bakery will be providing bread for President Hollande and the Elysées Palace for an entire year, just as he did for Sarkozy back in 2010.

You can now expect even longer lines than usual at his 38 rue des Abbesses location in the 18th arrondissement. Montmartre has long been the home for some of the city’s best bread with first prize winners in the competition in 2007, 2008, Bodian’s victory in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
