Welcome
We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.
Galette des rois et Le Roi
The French celebrate the Epiphany with a "galette des rois" which is a puff pastry cake filled with an almond paste. Hidden inside is a "feve" a little token and whoever finds it in their portion of cake is crowned king. This cake is in the patisseries from the end of December through much of January. In the US we eat our version of king's cake at mardi gras.
