Venez Fêter La Chandeleur à La Bazenne!

This "French Thursday" (January 29th),

La Bazenne welcomes you to our Chandeleur Party!

Before you put away your ski gear, head over to La Bazenne on Fifth for an

"Après Ski"-inpired Crêpe and Mulled Wine Afternoon.

From 4pm - 5pm, we will be hosting a Crêpe-Making Contest

during which we welcome you to design your own Crêpe using a large buffet of ingredients supplied by our Kitchen (e.g., Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Nutella, Whipped Cream, Fresh Fruit, Jam / Jellies, and More!).

We will also be serving Vin Chaud (French-style Warm Mulled Wine).

Our Kitchen Team will make the actual Crêpes, so all your have to do is decorate your Crêpe with the Toppings provided

(or any special ingredients you would like to bring from your own Kitchen!).

The Best Crêpe in terms of Flavors and Style will be featured at our Restaurant for the Upcoming Week of La Chandeleur and the Designer will be entitled to enjoy his personalized Crêpe for Free throughout the Week. (Limit one per visit.)

Adults and Children Alike are Welcome to Participate!

The cost is just $8 per Participant, or $5 for La Bazenne Social Club Members.

A Little Background de la Chandeleur

The Catholic holiday of Candlemas, on 2 February, is a feast to commemorate the purification of the Virgin Mary and the presentation of baby Jesus. In France, this holiday is called la Chandeleur, Fête de la Lumière,* or jour des crêpes. Not only do the French eat a lot of crêpes on Chandeleur, but they also do a bit of fortune telling while making them. It is traditional to hold a coin in your writing hand and a crêpe pan in the other, and flip the crêpe into the air. If you manage to catch the crêpe in the pan, your family will be prosperous for the rest of the year.
