La Galette des Rois 2024 du Lutetia by Nicolas Guercio, a returning favorite

If you're a fan of the galette des rois, the Lutetia unveils a new creation that's as beautiful as it is delicious. This year, for the Parisian palace's famous galette des rois, head pastry chef Nicolas Guercio has decided to revisit his famous almond galette, now a must-have for Epiphany.

You may be thinking that this galette des rois doesn't look like a classic frangipane galette, and that you might not like it. But if you're a fan of galettes des rois, then you'll love this one! Pastry Chef Nicolas Guercio puts all his know-how into making this galette a most delicious creation.

First of all, the galette looks rather exceptional. It's composed of several disks of puff pastry framing a variety of surprisingly textured inserts. There's a melting crumble, buttercream and almond praline mixed with almond slivers, almond cream and puff pastry brioche. Each bite is a real delight!
