This speciality is usually baked and eaten in France and in the Iberian Peninsula for Epyphany, a christian feast which celebrate the Three Kings visit to child Jésus, celebrated on 6th of january.

For the anecdote, this tradition  arrived in France throught Avignon papacy , when the first king’s draw happened at the end of XIV s at the convent of the Dominicans.

This round brioche cake is perfumed with orange blossom essence and also decorated with candied fruits which represent crown jewels !
