La Galette des Rois : une tradition qui traverse le temps… et nos souvenirs

A golden tradition to share. Flaky, generous, and made with heart — our Galette des Rois is ready to crown your Epiphany moments.

A Little History: Where Does Galette des Rois Come From?

Galette des Rois dates back to Antiquity, during the Roman Saturnalia, a time of celebration centered around sharing and role reversal between master and servants during the time of one day. Over time, this tradition became part of Christian culture, marking Epiphany and commemorating the visit of the Three Wise Men to the baby Jesus.

Today, Galette des Rois is above all a symbol of togetherness, transmission, and indulgence — a simple yet deeply rooted family tradition.

A Childhood Memory: Sweet Moments That Stay Forever

When we were children, I clearly remember the first weekend of January, always on a Sunday. After celebrating Christmas Eve with family — uncles, aunts, and cousins, most often at our home — then New Year’s Eve, usually at Uncle Serge’s, Epiphany gently closed this festive season… at Uncle Jacky’s house.

It was a soft and comforting time, filled only with warm and joyful memories.I especially loved this ritual and the role I played every year — as the youngest — slipping under the table to decide who would receive the next slice of galette.

Pure happiness.And today, what touches me the most is seeing the same sparkle in my sons’ eyes. The tradition lives on, unchanged and full of meaning.
