Rayonnance, the pastry shop in Paris's 9th arrondissement, reveals its 2026 Epiphany galette featuring reverse puff pastry and vanilla-rum frangipane. Available from January 6 to 31, by reservation only.

Rayonnance, we’ve already mentioned it! It’s the must-visit pastry shop making waves in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. Behind this sweet gem are Yuki Hayato and Lumi Hachiya, two talented Japanese pastry chefs. Their partnership began in 2018, in the kitchens of the Michelin-starred restaurant Pages, sparking a shared culinary journey. After winning over connoisseurs during a residency at Bistrot Pergo, they opened their first spot in 2023, Rayonnance. Here, Yuki works away in the kitchen, while Lumi welcomes guests with a warm smile—refreshingly free of the pretentiousness often associated with luxury pastry shops.

For the 2026 edition, Yuki presents a reverse puff pastry filled with a rich frangipane cream infused with a hint of rum and flavored with Madagascar vanilla. Each galette is hand-embossed with intricate patterns by Yuki himself, showcasing his passion and love for his craft. Did you know that the designs on the Epiphany cakes carry symbolic meanings? Spiral lines represent continuity, eternity, and the cycle of time. Crosshatch patterns symbolize unity, sharing, and equality. An ear of wheat signifies prosperity and harvest abundance, while laurel leaves embody victory. Beautiful, isn’t it? Every one of these motifs is carefully etched into Yuki’s detailed decorations.
