Each year, thousands of visitors flock to the Parc des Expositions in Paris to peruse the stands of the 220 exhibitors present. Visitors will find chocolatiers, patissiers, confectioners and other artisans from all over the world (France, Belgium, Austria, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Portugal, etc.). Plenty of activities and events will be on the programme at this fair which usually lasts 5 days. Visitors can attend the Pastry Show (with cooking demonstrations by top chefs), the Cacao Show, the Chocosphere (conferences and tastings), workshops for children, and of course the famous chocolate fashion show featuring models wearing dresses made of chocolate.
