A batard is a loaf shaped like a baguette, but much wider and shorter.
It has tapered ends and is slashed diagonally and baked using exactly the same method as the baguette.
For home bakers one of the things we recommend to students when baking batards, is to bake in something that helps to retain the steam, such as an oblong baker.
