Fève Friday

 

Galettes des rois - each with its hidden fève and paper crown - continue to reign in bakery windows across Paris all month long.

 

Three Kings Day / l'Épiphanie

 January 6 

  

Window Wednesday

 

No one likes to see a good celebration come to an end, and all over France La Fête des Rois - The Feast of The Three Kings - continues until the last day of January, up until the very last galette.

That one, please

Though the Feast of the Epiphany falls on January 6, galettes des rois will dominate boulangerie shelves until the end of the month.

Fit for a king

Galettes des rois are sold throughout the month of January. These are topped with candied orange slices and dried fruit.
