Nine out of ten French people meet in January around a pancake, to celebrate Epiphany *. This year it will take place on Sunday, January 3, 2021.
At La Pâtisserie de Chartres (Eure-et-Loir), the pancakes will be on sale tomorrow, Saturday, January 2, 2021. “And throughout the month of January”, specifies Alexandre Heslouis, the manager.
For the frangipane pancake: the crushed fines in Chartres!
This year he hopes to sell between 1,500 and 1,800 patties. Apples, pistachios and morello cherries, but above all the essential frangipane, “Entirely homemade”, promises Alexandre Heslouis.
The fines are crushed directly in the Chartrain laboratory. And for this artisanal house, it is essential to promote French craftsmanship.
–French beans in all pancakes
For the past four years, La Pâtisserie de Chartres has been calling on the family business to favor the “made in France”. Colas Clamecy beans, located in Bourgogne. 100% French beans!
In previous years, La Pâtisserie de Chartres highlighted Chartres en lumière. For the collection 2021, Alexandre Heslouis chose several characters who marked the city of Chartres and the Eure-et-Loir.
Famous people for Chartres and Eure-et-Loir
We find there Jehan de Beauce, Jean Moulin, Madame de Maintenon, Henri IV, Marcel Proust and Silvia Monfort… A fine collection of eight rectangular beans, which should make fabophiles happy!
