Traditional wood-fired bread-making is helping shield French baker Franck Burgaud from sky-rocketing energy costs
Franck Burgaud, who owns the only such bakery in the town of Challans, in western France, had not anticipated the current state of things when he opened 23 years ago.
Thanks to his preference for wood, the baker, who works with his wife and daughter, has been saving big on energy bills. "This is not even remotely close to the electricity prices and, in case of power outage, a wood-fired oven will always work," he told Reuters. He also said the state would write to France's 33,000 bakers to detail the existing and future help they can expect, while announcing bakery power contracts could now be reviewed on a "case by case" basis depending on each baker's situation.
