On 2nd February, La Chandeleur is celebrated in France, to mark the lighter spring days coming. Traditionally, people hold a coin in their left hand whilst flipping a pancake with their right hand; if the pancake lands perfectly in the pan, your family will enjoy wealth and luck all year. What do you like on your pancakes? Du citron avec du sucre? Du sirop? Des fruits? Du chocolat?
