French bakers beat world record for longest baguette

French bakers set a new Guinness World Record on Sunday when they made a 140.5m (461ft)-long baguette in Suresnes, in the suburbs of Paris.

The massive baguette beat a 132.62m (435ft) mega loaf baked in the Italian city of Como in 2019, which set the previous world record.

Part of the baguette was shared with the French public and given to homeless people.
