#french bread

This is bread (pain). It includes baguette, but not only. There is no sugar in it, but you can eat it both in salty or sugary contexts.

this is pain de mie. which... is kinda considered different from general bread idk why, technically I guess it shouldn't, but it's just not usually included when you say "pain". In the way you can say "here's bread" about a baguette but if you say "here's bread" and then put pain de mie on the table people are gonna be like "wtf are you talking about you freak" — it's usually used only for sandwiches or stuff like that.

this is BRIOCHE, which is more considered a dessert / sugary thing.

this is viennoiserie. it's sort of a subgroup of more sugary/greasy things, that look a bit like mixes between bread and pastries. it includes croissants and pains au chocolats (it's called a pain au chocolat NOT a "chocolate croissant" you freaking freaks) but also other things.

this is pain viennois, which is... I guess a weird mix between regular bread and viennoiseries. sometimes there's chocolate in it but not always and it can also be used in salty sandwiches and stuff. idk it's a bit of a special case that was not french originally.
