Start the New Year à la française with traditional eats and delicious libations at Galette Des Rois, taking place from 6:30pm until 8:00pm on Tuesday January 7, 2020 at the gorgeous French Institute Alliance Française.
Grab your $25 Ticket (a $42 value) for admission to this authentic French fête, featuring the "Kings' cake" - a mouthwatering puff pastry cake with a sweet frangipane filling, enjoyed every January in France since the Middle Ages.
Savor slices of decadent cake courtesy of master pâtissier Dominique Ansel, alongside 1.5 Hours of Delicious Cider by Romilly Cidre: a true heritage cider that has been continuously made at the same farm since the 9th century, when Charlemagne ordered the planting of apple orchards in what would soon become Normandy.
Mingle with other francophile friends and see if you're the lucky roi or the reine who finds a porcelain crown (called fève) in their slice of galette. If so, 2020 will most certainly be your year.
This lovely celebration will fill you with good food, good drinks and good vibes for the New Year!
"Mangez bien, riez souvent, aimez beaucoup." The literal translation is: “Eat well, laugh often, love abundantly.” At the French Institute Alliance Française, the culture of France and its hedonistic enjoyment of life, love, wine, and food is exhibited in a culturally authentic fashion, making it a hub for those who want a taste of the French lifestyle in New York City.
There's no more perfect time to embrace la belle vie than January, when the beloved Galette des Rois is celebrated. This heavenly cake that honors the Three Kings was created for the bishop of Amiens in 1311. Pulling out the fève was serious business that allowed a court lady to truly become the queen for a day, until the French Revolution, when the royal cake was renamed "the Galette of Equality."
At FIAF's Annual Galette des Rois Celebration, this indispensable cake that has been shared through French history is once more enjoyed in the company of fine friends. The presiding pastry chef this year will be Dominique Ansel, who has been awarded the James Beard Award and the Ordre du Mérite Agricole for his achievements in gastronomy - including the invention of the world-famous Cronut®.
Add to this freely flowing libations by Romilly Cidre, from the Romilly Farm that began raising apples by the order of the Emperor Charlemagne in the 9th century. Made from 25 varietals of heritage apples, Romilly Cidre expresses the complexity of a fine Bordeaux, the elegance of Champagne, and the crisp freshness of a vine-ripened apple.
Come for the cake, and stay for the conversations. This inspiring soirée is the perfect way to kickstart your year!
