  January - Fête des Rois

galette

 

Epiphany is the time for French to celebrate the Fête des Rois - Kings' Celebration in English. A galette, a cake specially baked for the occasion, is shared between all guests.

The lucky one finding the trinket hidden in the cake is crowned king or queen for the evening - and - according to tradition, are the hosts of the next party, as the celebration typically continues for the entire month of January!

Check our Web site a few weeks before January to know the location of next Fête des Rois celebration.
