La fête du Pain

Whereas us Brits celebrate Guy Fawkes and the bonfire in November, the French have a similar celebration in June - La fête du Pain. That's right.. the Festival of Bread. Heaven, right? Whole villages congregate together to eat, drink and chat around a bonfire, all in the name of bread. And the bread they made truly was delicious! Made in a kiln in the village square, the loaf really had been perfected! As the night grew darker, the bonfire grew bigger, with the men of the village attempting to jump over the flames. (I tried, but got stage fright, wondering what exactly I would say to my insurance company if I fell into the flames...) 
The night truly was magical, with the whole of this small, Provençal village coming together to celebrate the greatest carb of them all!
