La Chandeleur, also known as Crêpe Day, marks the halfway point between winter and spring.

In France, families celebrate by eating crêpes, which are round and golden like the springtime sun. We are excited to offer two days of fun to celebrate the holiday.

We invite families to celebrate this holiday in festive French fashion amidst Hillwood's magnificent setting and exquisite French treasures.

• Snack on a tasty treat of sweet crêpes (2 per person)
• Decorate a plastic plate with fanciful designs and flourishes inspired by Hillwood's French Sèvres porcelain
