Epiphany the time for "La galette de rois"

Stories on the local news and in the Depeche as always at this time of the year about the galettes you buy in the boulangeries, and are given a golden crown with the pastry / cake. Inside the cake is a little charm / feve which if you get in your piece of cake you gain the crown. Many people and children collect the feves, and we have seen people at brocantes going through bags of feves for that elusive one they need to complete their collection. Noticed on the Tarn news on TV that an enterprising boulangerie at Cahuzac sur Vere has had feves made with interesting buildings in the village on. Whilst at Caussade another boulangerie has a collection of pigs in hats, last year they had cows, not nearly as cute.
