Welcome to the largest chocolate store in the world! In 2023, the Salon du Chocolat<\/a> store supplies gigantic chocolate croissants, a 5-meter tall spire topped with a chocolate puppy (LuLu), global and exotic chocolate-producing locations, 250 chocolate and pastry shops, the latest chocolate dresses and capes and competitions like: Who will be named the Master pastry chef for pain au chocolat<\/em> on October 30. The inaugural evening was for the benefit of the association, M\u00e9c\u00e9nat Chirurgie Cardiaque<\/a>. The chocolate store is open for five days from October 28 through November 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was fun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Usually, I attend on Saturday; this was my first visit to a Salon du Chocolat on the inaugural evening. Two things stand out from the usual. I chatted with the Grand Paris 2023 P\u00e2tisserie winner and I saw the chocolate fashion show from a new perspective. I found Cyril Huet P\u00e2tisserie located at the far end of the hall near a black wall. His patisserie is in S\u00e8vres (southwest of Paris). His winning chocolate \u00e9clair and tarte citron made into my shopping bag. He made a change to his family\u2019s commercial background as butchers and has been a pastry chef for 14 of his 28 years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Chocolate Fashion Show<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

This year\u2019s 15-outfit fashion show is more about the clothes than exotic use of chocolate as seen in 2022. The daily shows are at 4 pm and 5 pm. Every year, each outfit is designed by a chocolatier and a clothing designer. This was the first time I saw the celebrities modeling the dresses. They were having fun. However, they seemed to be on a practice run to find the garment flaws. The audience spotted the flaws immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div>
