Gâteau des rois - Bricoleurs de douceurs / Frangipane Labo La Pépite ©

The presumed date of Epiphany always attracts many disagreements but according to the Christian calendar, it is celebrated on January 6th whether it falls on a Sunday or not. In this case, this year it falls on a Friday! Whether you are a purist or just a food lover, you are probably expecting the best pastry for the occasion and that's why we are giving you a little helping hand with this selection of the best galettes from Marseille.

At the origin, the "gâteau des rois", as its name suggests, is a celebration of the arrival of the Three Kings to Jesus. Yes, today we often prefer the "Northern" version, the galette with frangipane, but originally (especially in Provence), when we talk about the "gâteau des rois", it refers to the brioche with candied fruits and sugar. But nevermind tradition, let's indulge in delicious treats. Most bakeries offer both versions anyway, so here are some addresses to help you in your quest.
