YAY! I made it to the Salon du Chocolat yesterday!And I'm going back for MORE goodies today!
It lasts through Monday so hop on a plane and get over here, Toute a suite. and take the #4 line to the Porte d'Orleans terminus and then the free tramway 3 to Porte de Versaille. ET VOILA! easy as chocolate pie
It's so worth the trip!!!!!!
Now ALL Paris Breakfast readers..What is this?A cocoa bean or cabosse made of chocolate of course...sigh & YUM!
Everyone is here. Chocolate makers from all over France. Including La Maison du Chocolat!
AND you get to meet and chat with your favorite chocolate makers, like Sadaharu Aoki here feeding me a macaron! Does it get any better than this?
Here Jean-Charles Rochoux shares all his chocolate secrets with a visitor!
And Christophe Michalak of Le Plaza Athenee demonstrates making macarons.
In fact they're making chocolate all over the Salon...
And you say you're not that wild about chocolate? OK there's plenty of French fashion to take in...
And chocolate jewelry, here by Lupin Lapin. I bought the ring with the cherry on top! :)
And you can always read about chocolate...
Or get some home-made jam from Le Jardin des Gourmandises...
Foie gras sandwiches seem to be the thing to eat with your chocolate...
Pralus has a new paste of noisettes...much yummier than tooth paste.
And bar after bar of nougat!
You could build a nice cabin with all the logs of guimauve lying around...
I saw the most fabulous fruity cakes at Le Grenier a Pain...
And of course you must have tea with your fruity cake...
And bien sur there are a gazillion macarons waiting for you. So it ain't just chocolate! What it's really about is, enterprising people following their dream to make something they're passionate about, whether it be chocolate, macarons or tea etc. They all have wonderful stories to tell and delicious things for you to taste. Some of the big global guys are here too, but this show is really about the small artisanal producer of food, who love they're craft and want to share it. So y'all come on down. And if you can't make it this year, start planning to show up at next year's Salon du Chocolat. Meanwhile I'll have lots more to tell this week so stay tuned.
