This festive gathering marks the perfect opportunity to start the new year with a taste of French culture. The “Galette des Rois” tradition has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Originally associated with the Epiphany, this custom has evolved into a beloved social event that brings people together throughout January.

Did you know?

–  The galette’s origins can be traced to ancient Roman festivals honoring Saturn.

–  In the 14th century, French Benedictine monks filled puff pastry with almond frangipane to celebrate the Three Kings’ visit.

–  A small charm or “fève” is hidden inside the cake, and whoever finds it becomes the “king” or “queen” for the day.

At our event, you’ll have the chance to:

–  Savor the delicious “Galette des Rois”

–  Learn more about this charming French tradition

–  Meet our newest chamber members

–  Discover our exciting plans and activities for 2025

Don’t miss this opportunity to network, celebrate, and embrace French-Lithuanian business connections in a festive atmosphere.

We look forward to seeing you there and crowning our king or queen for the day!
