Could there be a day for the delicious French pancakes- ‘Crêpe Day’? The answer seems yes.

‘La Chandeleur’ (Candlemas or Crêpe Day) is celebrated in France on 2^nd February every year. It is a time that the French has dedicated to the delicious ‘Crêpes’. People young and old eat a lot of these pancakes, light candles and make merry during this Crêpe Day festive time in France.
