Les Vœux, Best wishes for the New Year/Meilleurs Voeux pour la Nouvelle Annee!
In France, sending best wishes for the New Year is not just something you do on January 1st. French people do it the entire month as another reason to celebrate with friends!

La Fête des Rois (The Festival of the Kings) is a 700-year old tradition in France
La Fête des Rois dates back to the 13th century and takes place on January 6th, the 12th day after Christmas, when Epiphany celebrates the arrival of the Three Kings after the birth of Christ. It is often celebrated after New Year's and includes a king and a special cake. La galette des rois, is a mouth-watering puff pastry confection with almond-flavored frangipane filling.

There are three main aspects to the French tradition of La Fête des Rois:

  • la galette des rois (a delicious puff pastry confection)

  • the féve (a small object that is placed in the galette des rois)

  • the crowning of the king (or queen).

À la Recherche du Temps Perdu , Tome I: Du côté de chez Swann de Marcel Proust

  • dimanche, 25 janvier

  • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

  • Virtual Meeting en français via Zoom - For Zoom meeting details or additional information, please email virginieperezwoods@ou.edu

  • À la recherche du temps perdu, couramment évoqué plus simplement sous le titre La Recherche, est un roman de Marcel Proust.

  • Plutôt que le récit d'une séquence d'événements, cette œuvre s'intéresse non pas aux souvenirs du narrateur mais à une réflexion psychologique sur la littérature, sur la mémoire et sur le temps.

  • Le premier volume de l'œuvre légendaire de Proust raconte les souvenirs de Combray, la madeleine trempée dans une tasse de thé et, bien sûr, l'histoire d'amour entre Swann et Odette.
