La fête des rois



Perhaps a little bit of a strange tradition, but a tradition nonetheless. We celebrate the late arrival of the wisemen in Bethlehem buy eating a traditional cake which contains a "fève"( small decoration the size of a dry kidney bean). The lucky person who finds the "fêve" is proclaimed king. Just to make things extra fair and make sure there is not cheating, the youngest member of the party sits under the table and assigns the pieces of cake to the guests. Our friend Alexandre was our king and very diplomatically chose his mom to be his queen :)

Nous avons reçu des amis pour "tirer les rois". Alexandre a été notre roi et a choisi sa maman pour reine .
