Salon du Chocolat returns to Paris this month
Sweet dreams are made of this – the fabulous, decadent and delicious Salon du Chocolat returns to Paris this month.
From October 28 to November 1, the largest global event dedicated to cocoa in all its glorious forms will bring together pastry chefs, chocolatiers and bakers at the Porte de Versailles in Paris.
Each day, master chocolatiers, pastry chefs, confectioners and producers from around the world will show off their savoir-faire with out-of-this-world creations, while talks and workshops will consider the nutritional, ethical and environmental issues affecting the chocolate business.
