Also, the Bread Festival is an opportunity for the profession to highlight its differences, to promote bread made according to the rules of the art and to remind that good bread has a name: Traditional French Bread. As a reminder, the Fête du Pain was launched in 1996, and since then the event has returned every year around May 16, the day of Saint-Honoré, patron saint of millers, flour merchants, bakers and pastry chefs. .
