DO
YOU KNOW . . .
King
cake is one of the most popular eating traditions in France. King
cake takes place in January every year. A "feve" - a small china
figurine - is hidden in the galette before baking. The lucky guest who
gets the feve is crowned king and is in charge of supplying a new galette
for the next social gathering. This takes place all over France in
every family, between friends, and working colleagues. Children absolutely
love the game.
