The first Sunday in January is The Kings day. It’s the day the Three Kings are said to have presented their gifts to Jesus. In honor of this day they eat the Kings Cake, la Galette des Rois.

The most traditional cake is flat and round with an almond/butter filling. Originally they always baked a real broad bean inside the cake. Now it is a figurine that is called “la fève.“

“La fève“ can represent anything from a car to a cartoon character. Whoever gets the slice with la fève is King or Queen for the day. They’re given a golden cardboard crown to wear all day long. Their duty as king or queen is to buy or make the next kings cake.
