For his first galette des Rois at the Hôtel Le Burgundy, in Paris's 1st arrondissement, Léandre Vivier innovates. For Epiphany 2023, the pastry chef has created a beautiful, graphic galette reminiscent of the famous Calisson.

Léandre Vivier's Galette des Rois at Burgundy is a celebration of tradition and innovation. It features an orange blossom frangipane cream, enriched withalmonds from Provence and honey from Paris. These ingredients recall the iconic flavors of the Aix-en-Provence calisson. The outer shell, a croissant dough, creates a crisp texture on the outside with a soft, brioche-like interior. This blend of textures and flavors transports us back in time to the perfumes of yesteryear.
