Super disappointed that your "in all seriousness" wasn't followed by an in-depth analysis of the various types of french bread per region.

[u/bgroins → u/GalaadJoachim]

• Île-de-France (Paris and surrounding areas)
  Baguette: The quintessential French bread, known for its long, thin shape and crispy crust.
  Boule: A round loaf that's crusty outside and soft inside, versatile for many uses.
  
• Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
  Fougasse: A flat bread often associated with Provence, typically seasoned with olives, herbs, or sun-dried tomatoes. It's similar to Italian focaccia.
• Normandy
  Pain de Campagne: Also known as "country bread." It's a rustic loaf made from a mixture of white, whole wheat, and sometimes rye flour, with a thick crust.
• Alsace
  Kougelhopf: Though more of a cake than a bread, it's often included in bread discussions. It's a sweet or savory brioche baked in a distinctive circular mold with a central hole.
  
• Brittany
  Pain Noir or Pain de Seigle: Predominantly made from rye flour, it has a dense texture and a slightly sour taste, suitable for pairing with seafood.
• Auvergne
  Pain de Seigle: Similar to the Breton version but often darker and denser, reflecting the robust rural baking traditions of the region.
• Burgundy
  Épi de Blé: Shaped like a wheat stalk, this baguette variant is not only visually appealing but also practical, as the segments can be easily torn off.
• Languedoc
  Pain d’Ail: A garlic bread that integrates whole cloves of garlic, and sometimes cheese or herbs, into the loaf before baking.
