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

The massive baguette beat the 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 the rest was given to homeless people.
