croissant

Croissant is a representative bread of France. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it a popular breakfast choice.

Croissants are characterized by their crescent shape. The multiple layers of butter create a delightfully flaky texture.

The history of the croissant is linked to Austria. It is said to have been created in 1683 to commemorate the victory against the Ottoman Empire's invasion. The crescent shape is inspired by the Ottoman Empire's symbol.

Today, croissants filled with various ingredients such as chocolate, almond, and ham and cheese are loved worldwide. Especially, tasting a freshly baked croissant from a small bakery in Paris has become a bucket list item for many travelers.
