Soup and baguette

We nipped into Bar-sur-Seine today to get a few bits. It was mainly a visit to Weldom (local DIY shop) to buy some bolts which we need for the kitchen, but I always ensure we go to one of the bakers for fresh bread if we are in town. In France you can always find a boulangerie open somewhere, it’s part of their constitution – to have bread available to all, every day. They stagger their opening hours to ensure the day is covered from 7am–7pm. And they do make the best bread. Nothing beats a fresh crusty baguette. I had made us some homemade cream of tomato soup for lunch, so a piece of buttered baguette was a must.
