Sri Lankan dude who didn't speak French or make bread making the best baguette in Paris is a hell of an arc
-
France may have given him the opportunity but it's his dedication and hard work that got him to where he is. Salute! Such a nice immigrant story. Props to his mentor as well.
-
Praise for Chef Thierry! Charitable enough to give an immigrant a chance, kind enough to teach him a skill, and humble enough to be happy for his pupil surpassing him. Many people cannot open themselves to one of these, let alone all three.
-
To do a full interview in French for someone not born in France is just amazing!!!
-
Oh man, as a french guy, yeah... those baguettes look really nice.
-
The way he stops and savours the taste and crunch of his own baguette... something he has access to pretty much everyday and I'm sure he has tried plenty of before shows the love he has for his craft.
-
I love how he has not forgotten how he started out and gives the due recognition to his teacher. Wishing you all the very best. Love from 🇱🇰
-
That incredible crunch you hear and taste when eating a baguette. Is absolutely amazing.
-
Regardless of his background, he embraced the culture and the people love him back.
-
Witnessing a Tamil SriLankan Immigrant moving past the hardships and perfecting his craft is amazing. Very well done Anna! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
-
Kudos to both the diligent student and the proud mentor 👏🏽 👏🏽
-
This was such a heartwarming video. Tharshan's joy making baguette's and the friendship between him and his mentor made me smile.
-
Imagine winning the best baguette in Paris. My word that has to be a phenomenal baguette. Well done mate.
-
His bakery is Au Levain des Pyrénées in the 20th arrondissement neighbourhood.

Tharshan Selvarajah is a true artist. So glad to learn about him and his techniques. Loved this video!
-
I made a video about this baguette last year and gosh those baguettes are fantastic. The crunch with the sheer deliciousness of the fluffy bread was very surprising to me. Totally worth the hype. I didn't get to meet the Baker but this video definitely did justice to his work.
-
His mentor looks like such a nice person. I love when people are willing to teach
-
Congrats to this extremely talented and hard working baker!
-
Amazing teacher and pupil. Chef Tharshan remembered his mentor and old boss, Chef Thierry. That itself says a lot about his character! Amazing man! Chef Tharshan fully deserved the honour for bringing glory to his bakery, team and his artwork. His hardwork and determination brought success. Chef Thierry on the other hand showed, he has heart of gold by teaching craft and willing to step back so that his pupil enjoys his moment. Not many mentors enjoys when their pupil exceeds them. Great Teacher, Great Pupil....Nice...🙏😃
