Celebrate the Candlemas at La Galetterie

Celebrate the Candlemas at La Galetterie

Today we celebrate "Candlemas". But do you know the origin of this celebration? It dates back to the 5th century, when during the torchlight processions in honor of the presentation of Jesus in the Temple, Pope Gelasius I offered pancakes to the pilgrims. It is therefore the perfect occasion to taste this typical French dish. For this reason, we recommend an address located a few steps away from the Modernist Hotel: La Galetterie.

6 minutes walk from the Modernist Hotel. Open Monday to evening, Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner. Closed on Sunday.
