According to the French Ministry of Culture, the country currently has fewer artisanal bakeries compared to the 1970s, when there were 55 thousand of them. Since then, this number has been falling, at the same time as there has been an increase in the sale of industrially produced baguettes. So, if the culinary item is considered Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, it is possible that this fact will be reversed. This way, the tradition will continue and will not be lost among new generations.
