And, proof that success is still there, the number of preparations planned has not decreased for this new year. “Beyond the fact that we have been organizing this little competition for some time, the success is still there and we plan to make around 3,000 galettes des rois this year. We remain a family bakery which has a little reputation in Saint-Gilles These gold coins represent more of a bonus that people particularly appreciate.
A value of €250
For this year, two gold coins, worth €250, will be hidden in two creations. This is a little less than in 2024 when both the number and their value were doubled. To attract curious people, one will be hidden in a cake on January 5 and the other on January 6, Epiphany Day. And the hope of having girls lasting a few hours, as in recent years, is still there. “It’s a little pride for us and we always keep the same principle with the logo of our bakery which always appears on our gold coins,” he concludes.
And exceptionally, the bakery will be open this Monday for the traditional Epiphany Day. Small special feature: you have to order on site to enjoy a good galette des rois and perhaps leave with a little extra gift.
