Abbreviations for units of measurement in French (+ the world's longest baguette!)

Bilingual children schooled in a language other than French can sometimes lack vocabulary for everyday things because they are used to manipulating these notions in their other language.

This is an opportunity to learn more about the world record for the longest baguette that has just been broken by the French! I purposely used the abbreviations for the length and in the recipe. I also had to explain to my little English speakers that in numbers, in France the comma replaces the period as a decimal separator.
