Charles De Gaulle once said of his homeland:
My mind assures me that France is not really herself unless she is in the front rank; that only vast enterprises are capable of counterbalancing the ferments of disintegration inherent in her people; that our country, as it is, surrounded by the others, as they are, must aim high and hold itself straight, on pain of mortal danger. In short, to my mind, France cannot be France without greatness.
De Gaulle rose to international attention at the moment of France’s greatest humiliation. She needed De Gaulle and men like him to restore France to her natural station in the world. Five years ago, bakers in Italy produced a baguette–that icon of French cuisine–that was longer than any other in the world.

Now, The Globe and Mail reports, France has regained its title as the creator of the world’s longest baguette. On Sunday, bakers at Suresnes baked one that was 140.53 meters (or approximiately 71 Charles De Gaulles laid end to end) long.
