And what a chocolate extravaganza it was! Never had we seen so much chocolate in one room. There's not really much I can say about the day other than the fact we both left on a huge sugar high, and Erik was impressed at the amount of booze they managed to mix in to the fun. We figured free samples of liquor are probably good for sales...
A sea of chocolate covered marshmallows.
Chocolate and champagne. My new favourite combination.
The home team.
Erik sampling a sursprisingly un-tasty chocolate rum treat.
In the end, we didn't actually buy very much. Most of the French chocolatiers that were there (well, I'm pretty sure they were all there!) all have boutiques in Paris, so it seemed a bit silly to go all out at the show. I did get a box of beautiful Japanese truffles, and some salted butter caramels from Normandy, which were fantastic, and Erik was pleased to purchase a bottle of Grand Marnier that isn't available in stores.
All in all, it was a delicious day.
