We've made all sorts of bread with our ABM. It's also handy for making
dough for pizzas etc. We bought a cheap Morphy Richards ABM in UK.
Aldi almost give ABMs away.

A French colleague mentioned that she gave her mother a bread maker she
bought while living in the UK and now her mother uses it intensively.
Living in France and making your own bread is probably grounds for
"sectioning" (what's the French for that?).

Not all bread in France is good and it very much depends on the boulangerie,
though even the output of a mediocre boulanger is pretty good if you manage
to buy the bread while it's still hot. Surprisingly, our local Monoprix
makes a nice baguette which I enjoy now and then, but my staple for
breakfast is the far heavier and chewier bread bought at the local "bio." It
costs 2.90 EUR, but lasts for a few days and is certainly "more bang for the
buck" in terms of nutritional value.
