Leuville-sur-Orge is the place to go to taste Essonne's best almond galette in 2025. The "La Leuvilloise" bakery is the overall winner of the competition organized by the department's Chambre des Métiers et de l'Artisanat!
After the season of logs, comes that of the inevitable and tasty galettes des Rois. And as always, there are plenty of them to tempt us. From the traditional frangipane galette to more original chocolate galettes... every year, pastry chefs bend over backwards to satisfy and surprise the taste buds of even the most demanding gourmets.
But how do you choose THE galette that will delight the greatest number of people? Every year, competitions for the best almond galette are held in the Paris region. With the start of the galette des Rois season just a few weeks away, the Essonne Chamber of Trades and Crafts (Chambre des Métiers et de l'Artisanat d'Essonne) has come up with a new competition. At the end of each year, a jury meets to select the best almond cake in the département.
After tasting and comparing numerous galettes, the jury delivered its verdict on November 27, rewarding a bakery located in Leuville-sur-Orge. For those with a sweet tooth, you'll have to go to La Leuvilloise bakery in 2025 to taste the best almond galette in Essonne!
