a beret is a cap/hat and a baguette is a bread. I don't think people wear breads on their heads and berets have been a popular type of hat for decades.
answer 2:
I have a question: How many Americans wear a cowboy hat and hamburger every day? Seriously, I have a beret, but I rarely wear it even if I think it's cute. They were popular in past generations and old men may wear them still. Sometimes on a Sunday morning I will go to the boulangerie to buy Croissants and baguettes; I wear my sneakers but I don't put my baguette on my head, non non non! Even if I have had tooto much wine.. No, please don't do it... Ohlala!
There are lots of different shapes of bread in France. The one most frequently used in towns and hotels is a BAGUETTE, which means STICK. Oddly enough, an orchestra conductor also uses a BAGUETTE, and not a BATON, which is another French word meaning, well, stick. Or in American, cane. Other nice names for loaves include flute, ficelle (string) and batard (mongrel) which is a loaf half the length of a Baguette, but the thickness of a PAIN (standard loaf). The nicest bit of French bread is the crust; but crust goes stale more quickly than crumb. So in towns you find baguettes, about 2-3 feet long and 2 inches thick, or flutes which are thinner, and these keep less than half a day. If you want to buy bread in the morning that will still be acceptable in the evening, you need a PAIN, which is the length of a baguette but twice as thick. If you can't get to the baker's every day, you'll need one of the many forms of PAIN DE CAMPAGNE (country bread) which ar thicker and rounder. Some are 2 feet across and a foot thick.
Yes, they do. French fries are called 'frites' in French and are quite popular. Well french people can eat french fries but may tend not to because the type of food they are into are like baguette's and cheese. Bonjour. . . I am French and live in France xD We dont eat French fries or French toast xP Bet you thought we did :D Nut we dont :P
my mum says I'm special
The French eat(a total of) 15 tonnes a year. There is no way of knowing individually since not all French people necessarily eat a lot of croissants.
This is very rare, except maybe for older men in the south-western tip of France where the beret was popular. In other regions you are more likely to see people wearing caps, but they are falling out of use too (the baseball caps are popular with the younger genration, though). One would maybe wear a beret when going to a football or rugby game to support the national team.
A French baguette can range between 200 to 300 grams depending on the region. A normal baguette (at 250 grams) is 8.8 ounces.
it is 25 calories
There are thousands of different regional and local breads around the world. Bread is one of the oldest components of the human diet. Many of them are culturally based. For instance, Nan is Indian and a baguette is French.
baguette means "stick" (as a branch) Many breads in France get their name by their shape..... une ficelle string une coronne crown ...are names of breads also
There are about 888 calories in a medium baguette.
it would be about 720.
You should not sew a baguette. Baguettes are made of bread, which will fall apart if you pass a needle and thread through it many times. If you insist on trying, I suggest you sew by hand with a big needle.

Several thousands, since 1963.
Any where between 1.50 to 4.00 dollars! ( I do not agree !) I live in Vientiane and I can affirm that you can bay a baguette for 0.25 $ to 0.35$ at many places. You can also buy special FRENCH bread with quality ingredients between 0.35$ and 1.60$ each piece. I cannot understand the 4 $ ...... it is too much as you can have a baguette filled with anything available at less than 2.50 $ everywhere.
In Ireland many women have no problem leaving the house in the Pj's. They drop their kids to school and do their shopping wearing them. However, in France, French women are quite the opposite. Even to pop down to the local Boulangerie (Bakery) to get a baguette, they put on lipstick, do their hair and dress fashionably.
