Intro: Incredible but true: in the heart of Chartres, a bakery is at the center of a miracle that is making waves. A mute sparrow is said to have regained its voice thanks to a traditional baguette.
Once upon a time, there was a baker, Jean-Pierre PainChaud, owner of the bakery “Le Pétrin Divin” in Chartres. The man, known for his pastry skills, has always had a passion for birds. But what he experienced one sunny morning in October far exceeded anything he could have imagined.
A little sparrow, named Tristou, had become the daily companion of our baker. This little bird, particularly calm, never chirped. Veterinarians had diagnosed a muteness that seemed irreversible. “I’ve always had a soft spot for this little silent creature,” Jean-Pierre told us.
The miracle happened on a sunny morning. As our baker recounts: “I had just taken out a batch of crispy baguettes. Tristou was hungry and approached. I broke off a small piece of still-warm baguette and gave it to my little companion. To my great surprise, Tristou began to sing a melodious tune! It was a wonderful moment that I will never forget.”
Since this incredible event, the news has spread like wildfire. Locals are flocking to hear Tristou’s song and taste the miraculous baguettes. “The bakery has never been so prosperous,” claims the baker, a satisfied smile on his lips.
A fake quote from Charles Perrault, author of Mother Goose tales, was even invented for the occasion: “Who would have thought that magic would hide in a crispy baguette? From now on, I will write a tale where breadcrumbs make mute birds sing!” Thus goes life at the bakery “Le Pétrin Divin,” where miracles seem to be kneaded into the flour and baked in the oven.
