La Chandeleur : A Crêpe Day Celebration

Writer: Gaelle RogerGaelle Roger

La Chandeleur, celebrated on February 2nd, is a joyful French tradition dedicated to the delicious crêpe

This "feast of candles" marks the halfway point between winter and spring, and it's a wonderful excuse to gather with loved ones and indulge in these delightful treats.

A Touch of Folklore

French folklore adds a playful touch to La Chandeleur. Superstitions abound, from carrying a lit candle home from church to successfully flipping pancakes for good luck in love. Perhaps the most charming is the tradition of flipping a pancake while holding a gold coin – a surefire way to attract prosperity!
