Last year, I celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany in Paris, eating gallette, drinking champagne, and walking to the Eiffel Tower afterwards. This year, I will have my own gallette, champagne, and model Eiffel Tower in my California home, serving myself and guests not lucky enough to be in Paris.

I remember growing up with this tradition and “dreaming” I was going to be THE ONE with the fève, and wear the crown. But now I am much older ah and do not have the same dream, besides eat the galette.
Your pics make me want to eat a galette NOW

Interesting to learn that Epiphany in France is celebrated on the first Sunday. It’s always on the 6th here regardless of what day it falls on.

Those images are just…YUM. No way on earth I’d be able to resist them!
