Concarneau. Crêperie
The crepe actually originated in Brittany, in the northwest corner of France, where they still make sweet crepes or galettes, which are filled with savories and cheeses or served as a dessert crepe.
In medieval times, peasants presented crepes to their feudal lords as a demonstration of loyalty. In the Breton town of Quimper they actually have a museum celebrating the history of crepes. It's located in Place au Beurre or Butter Square!
Today in France crepes are served everywhere, on the streets, in restaurants and bistros, as well as the home. Crepe Day is celebrated on February 2.
The crepe was brought to America in the 1930s by French Chef Henri Charpentier. He claimed to have been the one to create and serve the original Crepes Suzette to the future King Edward VII in Monte Carlo.
