Made with buttery pastry and filled with almond cream, it&#8217;s traditionally shared to celebrate Epiphany and to see who will end up wearing the crown (paper one, sorry to disappoint..).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At LSI Paris, the tradition was celebrated the simple way: by sharing the galette together and seeing who found the<em> f\u00e8ve<\/em>, the tiny figurine hidden inside one of the slices. Whoever finds it, becomes king or queen for the day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manon Viret, part of the LSI Paris staff, told us what this tradition means to her: &#8220;For me, this tradition is a chance to gather with family or friends, enjoying not only a warm, delicious frangipane galette, but also the joy of the f\u00e8ve and crown ritual&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What would be your first wish as king or queen?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January in France has its own ritual and it comes in the form of a cake.
