Did you know? When Thomas Hart Benton created the ‘America Today” mural in 1930-31, he included hidden symbols and personal touches throughout the panels. One of the most interesting details is that Benton included a self-portrait in the mural! In the panel titled “Steel”, Benton painted himself as a worker, welding alongside others in a steel mill. This was his way of embedding himself into the narrative of American life and labor.

January in Paris is all about indulging in the beloved culinary tradition of galette des rois! 👑✨ This delicious king cake, made with flaky puff pastry and sweet almond cream, is a must-try on January 6 (and can be enjoyed all month long!). Each pâtissier puts their own spin on it, from classic recipes to modern twists. Traditionally, a bean is hidden inside, and the person who finds it is crowned king or queen for the day! Our team’s favorite spots for the best galette in Paris?

1. : This modern take on the galette brings together zesty citrus and sweet honey, all in a light, flaky pastry for a fresh and sophisticated treat

2. : Created by Etienne Leroy, named Best Pastry Chef in the World in 2017, this galette features crispy puff pastry, citrus-soaked panettone, fragrant frangipane, and indulgent orange confit, crowned with crunchy almonds and candied orange.

3. : Inspired by the delicate « rose » windows of Notre Dame here in Paris, star Pastry Chef Nina Métayer & The French Bastards Bakery Team collaborated on this magnificent limited edition using AOP Charentes-Poitou butter, cinnamon, frangipane & real almonds.

4. : More traditional but just as delicious! Under a golden, flaky crust lies a creamy mix of almond and pastry cream, with the nostalgic sweetness of childhood. Stamped Café de la Paix, this galette hides a charming teddy bear chef figurine.

5. : This year, the artisanal bakery offers two irresistible versions with a delicate inverted puff pastry: 1. Classic frangipane galette des rois, and 2. Organic hazelnut frangipane galette des rois with gianduja.

Don’t miss it if you’re in town the week of January 6! 🎂🇫🇷
