A french bakery is called a boulangerie, because for centuries bread was prepared in a bowl, or boule. That gave the loaves a particular round shape, like an inverted bowl

Amazingly, it wasn't until the late 17th century that someone thought, "You know what, I could make this into different shapes, like maybe a stick shape!"
