Rather galette des rois with frangipane or brioche with candied fruits (1)? In both cases, it will be possible to win, at Pirate Baker, an atypical bean to say the least… a 99.9% pure gold ingot! The Juanese bakery is joining forces for the second consecutive year with the Comptoir national de l’or, a company specializing in the purchase, sale, investment in gold and jewelry appraisal.
One winner per point of sale
Until January 31, one winner per point of sale (forty-three in France and four in the Paca region) will be able to become the lucky holder of a small 5g ingot. Its value? 445 euros. But it is likely to vary depending on the international prices of the yellow metal. “In 2024, gold has reached all-time highs, with an impressive increase of more than 30% over the year, while the record was set on October 30, with the ounce (around 31 grams) listed at 2,789 .95 dollars (2,656.60 euros)”specifies a press release.
The precious bean is not directly placed inside…
Behind her 100% artisanal pastries – an essential criterion to be selected by the Comptoir national de l’or – Xiomara David displays a delighted expression: “This bar brings us visibility and many customers who come to try their luck. A lady won it with us last year.” Had she broken her teeth on the Grail? “No chancereveals the manager of Pirate Baker. To avoid theft or other incidents, the ingot will not be placed directly in the wafer.” Instead, a QR code will be given to participants to register online until the draw in early February.
1. For frangipane, count 4 euros for an individual portion, 16 euros for 4 people, 24 euros for 6 people or 32 euros for 8 people. The same goes for the brioche (not served by the slice).
2. The other bakeries offering the lingotin are located in Marseille, Nice and La Ciotat.
