Alliance Francaise Celebrates “Galette Des Rois”
In celebration of Epiphany in France, the Alliance Francaise des Bermudes recently celebrated the “Galette des Rois” at the Loren on South Road, Smith’s.
A spokesperson said, “Members and friends of the Alliance Francaise des Bermudes recently enjoyed the traditional sharing of the Galette des Rois at the Loren on South Road, Smith’s. The custom takes place in celebration of Epiphany in France and francophone countries and involves millions who partake of a scrumptious pastry in which a small token is hidden.
“Whoever finds a token in their slice is declared King or Queen and is given a golden crown to wear for the night.”
“The Alliance Française des Bermudes is a charity that promotes the French language and culture and annually holds a student competition and provides free scholarships to four students to spend three weeks in France. It also shows French movies with subtitles every month at BUEI and organises many other activities.
