Croissants were invented in Vienna (Austria) to celebrate the defeat of the Turks (whose flag featured a crescent moon) in 1683. That sort of pastry (essentially a flaky pastry made with yeast) produces a range of items, notably croissants and Pains au Chocolat, called Viennoiseries. The croissant may have come to France with Marie-Antoinette, the Austrian Queen of Louis XVI.
