On January 5, 2026, President Emmanuel Macron hosted representatives of the French baking trade at the Palais de l’Elysée for the traditional Epiphany galette ceremony. The event brought together pastry chefs, Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, Meilleurs Apprentis de France, vocational high‑school students, WorldSkills winners and Rabelais jeunes talents. The President highlighted the value of artisanal skills and the importance of the food sector in preserving French traditions and promoting the country abroad. He also reiterated the role of apprenticeship and vocational training as key to economic development, noting that apprentice numbers have nearly tripled in the past eight years under his administration.
