Aparently they were the descendants of people affected by the plague, and as you can imagine the scare of the plague was very important, so these people were relegated to jobs where there was no risk they could contaminate others (even though they weren't affected by the plague themselves, but there was a real paranoia about the plague in France).

The same existed in Japan with the Burakumin, also Irish travellers who are kinda gypsy like but not ethnically and so on

Same happened here, the executioners were outcasts. People didn't want to see them, and avoided them. So at bakeries, the baker left a bread turned upside down, it was the executioner's bread, the executioner just had to come and take it, then leave, so other people didn't have to be in his presence for too long.

This tradition lead the popular believe that puting the bread upside down brings bad luck, because it reminds them of the executioner, and of death.

we have the same shit but I think it has something to do with Christ

It can be an explanation too, I believe there are different versions.
My dad got mad when I left the bread upside down.

Reminds me of Bavarians
