Since you insisted I attend Chateau Vaux le Vicomte's Salon du Chocolat I dragged myself off yesterday with former San Fransican/now Parisienne Susanne to check it out.
It was Susanne's first time (my 3rd) so I was the guide.
Ah the smell of it! Throughout the chateau - it was inescapable...
Tower upon tower of chocolat...here to adorn mini crepes made-to-order...
Here - a giant tower of chocolate macaron sculpture...
This French obsession with towers goes beyond the Eiffel Tower...
...it seems...
The piece de resistance in the chateau's Grand Salon made by Frederic Cassel.
Lots of people too, but nothing like the Paris Salon du Chocolat or Versailles so completely managable.
Lots of dipping going one...
And here some chocolate "glue"YUM!
More dipping...
Chocolate covered almonds from Mazet Confisieur.
Bien sur, Moliere was there, since he attended many balls at the chateau in former days...
And fab pastry chef Sadaharu Aoki was there in person!
...with his latest creations, chocolate-covered macarons!YAHOO!
Plus his excellent uncovered macarons.
After we'd had our fill of all the milk and cookies etc...
They sent us off to these divine divans for a much needed nap, before trudging home laden with our bags full of choco goodies. It was quite a grand trick or treat day. Thank you for insisting I go PB readers!!!BON LUNDI!
