PARIS - Cedric Grolet
This year, Le Meurice's pastry chef combines originality with tradition, with a Swiss bread galette with frangipane. The toasted croissant dough and frangipane cream with chocolate chips and roasted almonds are sure to delight!
6-person galette: 50 euros.
Order from the Cédric Grolet Opéra website.
PARIS - YANN COUVREUR
Once again, there's something for everyone at Yann Couvreur's 3 frangipane galettes des rois. Gourmets will be tempted by the Isatis signature pecan or hazelnut galette, while the less ambitious will opt for the traditional but equally tasty almond galette des rois.

LILLE - THE CARROUSELBERG OGRE
The Ogre de Carrouselberg pastry shop welcomes you this year with two flavors of galettes: almond and almond slivers, and hazelnut and milk jam for the more daring. Collectors will be delighted by the five colorful enamel beans from the Fragments d'Arcs-en-ciel collection hidden inside the galettes.
6-person galette: 32 euros.
Order from L'Ogre de Carrouselberg.
LILLE - MEERT
This January, Méert brings us freshness and uniqueness with its fruity galettes. The traditional apple galette will appeal to the widest possible audience, while the frangipane-abricot reindeer galette will stand out for its aesthetic appeal. Unsurprisingly, Méert also offers the classic frangipane galette and a galette hollandaise.
6-person galette: 32 euros.

LYON - LES ECLAIREURS PATISSIERS
The Luyat brothers revisit the traditional galette frangipane with a light almond diplomat cream for an ultra-soft, intense result. Inside, a bean with an iconic design referencing the Age of Enlightenment.
6-person galette: 44 euros.
Order from the éclaireurs patissiers website.
MARSEILLE - OH FAON
Frangipane is once again in the spotlight at Oh Faon, Marseille's artisanal, plant-based patisserie. You'll have to choose between the three versions available to taste these delights, unless you want to try all three! It's true that the choice is tough between the dark chocolate and cocoa frangipane, the rice pudding and cinnamon frangipane and the plain version.
6-person galette: 29 euros.
Order from the Oh Faon website.
