Paul
Lafayet celebrates the year of rooster by introducing its 2017 Limited Edition Chinese New Year Collection
to everyone. This year, the collection is inspired by the French symbolism ‘Le coq Gaulois’, combining paintings of
French roosters with traditional Chinese arts onto the heart of the collection
box. The French Collection Cookies
Box (32 pcs) & French Macaron Confectionery Box (12 pcs), along with Paul Lafayet’s traditional French recipe by sourcing the best
ingredients from places around the world, all delicacies are handmade and
homemade locally in Hong Kong and is packaged with the beautiful
blending of French and Chinese elements. Roosters are long-believed that they would bring fidelity and prophecy and Le
coq gaulois (The Gallic Rooster) is originated
from the Ancient Roman time, when French people were also known as the Gallus
people. Tracing back to the royal historiography, the ‘first Christian king of
France’, Clovis I was the first King to adopt Le coq gaulois as a part of the national emblem. Slowly and
gradually, the French rooster has become the national personification of
France. Even till now, Rooster is still a prominent figure of France,
especially in sporting events such as football leagues.
