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).
