A team of bread bakers¹—“boulangers” in French—whipped up a 461-foot-long baguette on Sunday in Suresnes, a suburb² on the western edge of Paris. It was longer than the 435-foot baguette baked in Italy in 2019, the current world record holder³, according to Guinness World Records.

It took 18 people more than two hours to produce the elongated⁴ loaf, which required 200 pounds of flour. The boulangers started mixing, rolling and shaping the dough⁵ at around 3 a.m., eventually forming it into a roughly two-inch-thick cylinder⁶. Around 5 a.m., they began feeding the slender, snake-shaped concoction⁷ into a specially⁸ built rolling oven. It emerged on the other side with a golden brown crust.

The end result was “the length of nine pétanque courts, referencing the French sport that involves throwing metal balls.

The record was confirmed at around 4:40 p.m. After a bit of celebrating, the bakers began slathering the baguette with Nutella—the sweet spread made of hazelnut and chocolate—and handing it out for attendees to enjoy. Some was also given to a local charity.
