In places where there is no public holyday for Epiphany, local Catholic bishops can move it to the first Sunday after Jan. 1st. That's the case in France.

Mon Dieu non! If you have access to a real boulangerie you mustn't shop at Picard! There is such a massive difference in quality between industrial galletes and hand made artisanal offerings.
Well this year we cut the poire en deux, a "real" one last weekend, and Picard's today...
