The French newspaper Le Figaro mapped out the origins of the pastry in one of their old issues. According to the paper, it all started with Epiphany, or F\u00eates des Rois, a celebration of Christ as an infant being revealed to three men who, throughout history, have been referred to as the three magi, the three wisemen and, of course, the three kings.<\/p>\n<p>When Epiphany was first celebrated in Roman times it was observed at the same time as Christmas, but now it falls the first Sunday in January. The two holidays were formally separated by Jules Ier. As with most old traditions rooted in religion, F\u00eates des Rois became gradually more and more secular over the centuries. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Royals like Fran\u00e7ois Ier et Louis XIV threw extravagant banquets celebrating the holiday, the parties becoming so excessive that soon complaints arose on the sheer extent of the excess. Eventually \u2014 and know one quite knows how \u2014 the galette des Rois cakes began to appear at these celebrations. The first one is believed to have surfaced in the 14th century.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15069\" style=\"width: 626px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lannonce_aux_bergers_ms._1874_fol._29.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15069\" class=\"wp-image-15069 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lannonce_aux_bergers_ms._1874_fol._29-679x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lannonce_aux_bergers_ms._1874_fol._29-679x1024.jpg 679w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lannonce_aux_bergers_ms._1874_fol._29-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lannonce_aux_bergers_ms._1874_fol._29-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lannonce_aux_bergers_ms._1874_fol._29-816x1231.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lannonce_aux_bergers_ms._1874_fol._29.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15069\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Epiphany scene &#8211; by Biblioth\u00e8que municipale Stanislas, Nancy &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/c\/cd\/L%27Annonce_aux_bergers_%28Ms._1874_fol._29%29.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h4>What\u2019s inside la Galette des Rois?<\/h4>\n<p>Well, good question. Depends on who you ask. One of the very first galette des Rois on record came from Robert II de Fouilloy, bishop of Amiens, and dates back to 1311. It was a galette \u201cen p\u00e2te feuillet\u00e9e,\u201d which means it was in a puff pastry. Inside the puff pastry cake is an almond-flavoured cream known as frangipane.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And so, the northern tradition began. But the recipe for la galette des Rois varies, with regional differences making each one distinct from the other.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the south, you\u2019ll find a different dessert. Take a trip to Provence and you\u2019ll see them eating the Gateau du Rois Brioch\u00e9, a variation with their own local products: orange blossom and candied fruits. On top that, the southern version ended up being a brioche instead of a puff pastry. Why? With warmer temperatures in the south, in the past it was more difficult to keep butter hard, and the butter needs to be hard to have the pastry texture. Instead it\u2019s a brioche with a crown shape, a form believed to be influenced by similar Christmas desserts from Spain and Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>Even the name varies based on the region. It\u2019s called royaume in Provence, la Chaudi\u00e8re in Champagne-Ardennes, pogne ou \u00e9pogne in Dauphin\u00e9, and galfou or garfou in B\u00e9arn.<\/p>\n<p>But, as we all know, one element stays the same: the f\u00e8ve. Back in the 14th, century it was an actual bean inside the cake. By the sixteenth century, the \u201cf\u00e8ve\u201d was a coin, then by the late 19th century it could be a variety of porcelain symbols to designate who would be king. Nowadays, any plastic trinket will do.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15068\" style=\"width: 2098px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/brioche_des_rois_dsc06781.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15068\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/brioche_des_rois_dsc06781.jpg\" alt=\"Galette des rois in the south of France\" width=\"2088\" height=\"1264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/brioche_des_rois_dsc06781.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/brioche_des_rois_dsc06781-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/brioche_des_rois_dsc06781-768x465.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/brioche_des_rois_dsc06781-1024x620.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/brioche_des_rois_dsc06781-816x494.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2088px) 100vw, 2088px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15068\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The southern version of a Galette des rois &#8211; by David Monniaux &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/9\/90\/Brioche_des_Rois_dsc06781.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h4>The traditional way to cut la Galette des Rois<\/h4>\n<p>There\u2019s a whole little ritual set out for how to enjoy the cake. In the olden days, the tradition was slightly different. After appointing a president (usually the oldest and most respected person among the guests), the youngest boy in the family gets on the table.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The president cuts the first slice of the cake and asks the child &#8220;for whom this piece?&#8221; The child answers, \u201cfor the good God,\u201d and the part is set aside to be given to the first poor who will come to ask for it. The child later brings the slice of reserved cake to the poor, saying &#8220;Here is the share to God.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, it\u2019s slightly different.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The youngest child hides under the table, and although the child does still decide who gets the first piece, it\u2019s someone at the dinner. The philanthropic and religious element faded with the centuries. Everyone digs in, then, the person who finds the\u201cf\u00e8ve\u201d, gets to wear a crown, and is king or queen of the celebration.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15072\" style=\"width: 4010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/camargue_feves_des_gateaux_des_rois.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15072\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/camargue_feves_des_gateaux_des_rois.jpg\" alt=\"f\u00e8ves\" width=\"4000\" height=\"3000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/camargue_feves_des_gateaux_des_rois.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/camargue_feves_des_gateaux_des_rois-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/camargue_feves_des_gateaux_des_rois-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/camargue_feves_des_gateaux_des_rois-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/camargue_feves_des_gateaux_des_rois-816x612.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4000px) 100vw, 4000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Different f\u00e8ves for a galette des rois &#8211; by Varaine &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/5\/5f\/Camargue_F\u00e8ves_des_g\u00e2teaux_des_rois.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h4>Where to get la Galette des Rois<\/h4>\n<p>If you find yourself in the Â鶹APP region next January, these bakeries make a pretty decent galette des Rois:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stohrer: This is the oldest bakery in Â鶹APP, founded in 1730 by Nicolas Stohrer, the official pastry maker for Louis XV.
