In Suresnes, Paris, a team of chefs set a new Guinness World Record with the world’s longest baguette. Measuring 435.1 feet, the record-breaking baguette surpassed the previous record held by Italian bakers in Como.
The bakers were thrilled to have broken the record and were proud to have achieved it in France. The baguette was baked according to French standards at the Suresnes Baguette Show and was an impressive 235 times longer than a typical baguette loaf.
To have a record verified by Guinness World Records, individuals or groups must apply for recognition. Standard applications can take up to 16 weeks for review while priority applications take just five business days.
Record breakers must submit evidence of their attempt for review by the organization. They may also request an adjudicator witness the attempt. Achieving a Guinness World Record requires careful planning, execution, and verification of the attempt.
