France has honored the iconic baguette by releasing a scratch-and-sniff postage stamp featuring a cartoon image of the beloved bread. The stamp, unveiled on May 16, the feast day of the patron saint of bakers, is part of a celebration of French cultural heritage leading up to the Summer Olympics. Priced at 1.96 euros, the stamp is intended for international letters and offers a whiff of "bakery fragrances." With six billion baguettes made annually in France, the stamp pays homage to a culinary treasure that holds a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status. Additionally, a recent record-breaking 461-foot baguette and the annual "Grand Prix de la baguette" in Paris further highlight the bread's significance. The stamp's release has sparked anticipation for potential future culinary-themed stamps, such as a croissant stamp.
