In France and in other countries of the world people celebrate Carnival every year. It is a period that starts after Epiphany (on January 6th) and ends on Fat Tuesday (on February 24th this year). This feast celebrates the end of winter and abundance to announce the arrival of the sacrifice preparing to Easter.


Above all on Fat Tuesday, people go out in the streets to dance, to sing, to masquerade, to admire allegorical wagons and parades, to savour crepes, bugnes and beignets. The city of Lyon participates in this event by celebrations in different metropolitan districts.


The French school Inflexyon invites you to enjoy these latest days of feast!

Casi por todas partes, San Valentín es considerado como el día de los enamorados. El 14 de febrero, éstos dedican más tiempo a su pareja: se cambian regalos, cenan en un restaurante romántico y preparan sorpresas. En breve, demuestran que se aman. Flores y chocolates rellenos se quedan los regalos más tradicionales, en cambio, algunas parejas muestran su originalidad y fantasía para escapar a la rutina.

A veces, incluso los hombres menos románticos terminan por sucumbir a la fascinación de esta fiesta, sobre todo cuando esperan hacer olvidar a sus mujeres su comportamiento poco atento y convertirse, al menos por un día, en las parejas que ellas siempre habían deseado.

También los habitantes de Lyon organizan su día de San Valentín y la escuela de francés Inflexyon desea un feliz San Valentín a todos los enamorados.

On February 2nd France celebrates Candelmas or the Feast of Flames. It dates back to the polytheistic worship of Romans, who celebrated Lupercus, the god of fertility, and organized a procession with candles. Then the Christians changed the meaning of this feast, which they associated with the purification of the Virgin Mary after the birth of Jesus.


According to the French tradition, crêpes must be prepared on Candelmas day. In order to ward off bad luck, they must be cooked in a pan while keeping a coin in the other hand and then be garnished with sugar, vanilla, chocolate, etc…


The cookery courses at Inflexyon allow you to learn how to prepare crêpes and many other recipes linked with French culture.

Le 2 février, on fête en France la Chandeleur ou la fête des Chandelles. Son origine remonte au culte polythéiste des Romains, qui célébraient Lupercus, le dieu de la fécondité, en organisant une procession aux cierges. Les Chrétiens ont ensuite donné un sens différent à cette fête, qu’ils ont associée à la purification de la Vierge suite à la naissance de Jésus.

En outre, la tradition française veut que le jour de la Chandeleur on prépare des crêpes. Afin de conjurer le mauvais sort, il faut les faire sauter dans la poêle en tenant une pièce dans la main libre, pour les garnir ensuite de sucre, vanille, chocolat…

Les cours de cuisine d’Inflexyon permettent d’apprendre à préparer des crêpes et beaucoup d’autres recettes liées à la culture française.

LA CANDELORA : RELIGIONE E CUCINA

Il 2 febbraio si festeggia in Francia la Candelora o festa delle Candele. La sua origine risale al culto politeista dei Romani, che celebravano Luperco, il dio della fecondità, organizzando una processione con i ceri . In seguito, i Cristiani hanno modificato il significato di questa festa, che hanno associato alla purificazione della Madonna dopo la nascita di Gesù.

La tradizione francese vuole, inoltre, che nel giorno della Candelora vengano preparate le crêpes. Per scongiurare la cattiva sorte, bisogna farle saltare in padella tenendo una moneta nell’altra mano, per poi guarnirle con zucchero, vaniglia, cioccolato…

I corsi di cucina di Inflexyon permettono di imparare a cucinare le crêpes e molte altre ricette legate alla cultura francese.
