Last Saturday, many of our members braved the freezing cold temperatures to celebrate La Chandeleur at the French Library with us. We were amongst friends, hot drinks, and most importantly, crêpes! We made the batter and the crêpes ourselves and we would love to share the recipe we used (from On va déguster la France) with you so that you can also make them at home! Après tout, quand il fait froid, mangeons des crêpes !
