Dalloyau
To celebrate the Epiphany, Jérémy Del Val, pastry chef at Dalloyau and French dessert champion, has joined forces with the bakery and patisserie of Benoit Castel. Together, they have created an almond and hazelnut galette with a candied lemon heart that blends tradition and modernity. The puff pastry is decorated with Petit-Beurre, the symbol of the Benoit Castel brand, and the Dalloyau logo. It’s up to you to find the lucky charm to keep!
Lenôtre
Maison Lenôtre, an iconic French patisserie, is taking us to the Riviera with its St-Tropez-style galette. The soft brioche, soaked in tangerine syrup and garnished with lemon pastry cream, is shaped like a parasol, as designed by the artist Eric Garence. A signature cake filled with sunshine and sweetness to celebrate the Epiphany in 2022.
Pierre Hermé
Pierre Hermé excels in a world of sweetness and creativity, showcasing buckwheat from Brittany in his 2022 galette. The crunchy puff pastry and soft almond cream, punctuated by buckwheat seeds and crisp praline, will make your taste buds tingle. Like his favourite “Jardin d’Atlas” macaron, the great pastry chef has also created a galette featuring the subtle flavours of orange blossom, honey and lemon.

Famous chocolatier and pastry chef Jean-Paul Hévin showcases exceptional cocoa from all over the world in his galette des rois. A family galette with almond cream, chocolate chips and tangy lime cream. A gourmet tradition that’s not to be missed!

Printemps du Goût
Nina Métayer, twice named Pastry Chef of the year, welcomes you to Printemps du Goût and to her website “Délicatisserie” where she unveils her “nutcracker” galette, a nod to Tchaikovsky’s famous magical ballet.
