Bistrot Victoires - la couronne

Bistrot Victoires

The tall tiered pedestal on the bar of Bistrot Victoires displayed a gold paper crown, 

the regal spoils for the "king" who found the fève in a galette des rois.

I wonder what they did with the fève?

Yes, I am an obsessed collector

MORA - des fèves

The Window of MORA

(Le Spécialiste des Ustensiles de Cuisine)

MORA is one of my regular stops in Paris, to buy a French cookbook, 

powdered colors for making macarons, moule cannelé (for making Canelés de Bordeaux), and fèves.  There are many themes for a collection of fèves and we really wanted the row with the bees (including the Queen bee on the left).  They did not have any left for sale but there were other charming selections as you can see.  Perhaps you would be interested in the row of purses?

I promised a recipe for the galette des rois and have included a link here 

for a very easy galette.  

However, I will be back later with a photo of my galette des rois,

and a French recipe which I prefer.

(Joyeux anniversaire, Marie!)
