Until the late 1800s most rural villages in France used dried animal dung as a fuel to bake bread in community ovens as well as in the home for heating and cooking. Very little of France has ever been forested so alternate uses for trees, like building timber, precluded burning it. People in urban areas made use of coal. Although more costly, cities did not produce enough dung. Due to the limited supply of fuel in rural areas, bread was baked infrequently, sometimes only once a year after the harvest. There is French saying, "You are a man when you can cut your own bread." With bread many months old, you can understand what that means. Apparently swords were the most frequently used means to slice bread. From "Peasants into Frenchmen - The modernization of rural France 1870-1914" Eugene Weber. amazon.com .
