OK, which French breads are these?

My experience in Southern France was that the standard baguette or 
batard wasn't even good a few hours later. You bought it shortly 
before your meal. If you didn't eat it all, 4 hours later it was dry, 
hard, and inedible.

I eventually discovered something called - uh, it has been over 35 
years, so i may get this wrong - pain le mairie. It was a boule - 
that is a dome shaped loaf - made of a mix of white and whole wheat 
flours. It could keep a day or so and still be good.

So, i'm quite curious, which breads are good 4 days later?
