(inf) ; (heureux) we're on top of the world!━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━At Epiphany, it is traditional for French people to get together and share a « galette des rois », a round, flat pastry filled with almond paste. A small figurine (« la fève ») is baked inside the pastry, and the person who finds it in his or her portion is given a cardboard crown to wear. This tradition is known as « tirer les rois ».
