The humble baguette, France's staple bread, has made it onto the United Nation's cultural heritage list.

Paris-based UN heritage body UNESCO on Wednesday voted to include the "artisanal know-how and culture of baguette bread" on its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which already includes around 600 traditions from over 130 countries.
