Paris, November 2013, Part I - Salon du Chocolat

[scary_hairy]

On Oct 30 to Nov 4, M. and I went to Paris. The main goal of our trip was Salon du Chocolat. It's an annual show of chocolate. It's huge. It's awesome. It's money well spent. Here are some pictures.

The place had mostly French firms, but there were representatives from the countries that grow cocoa. They sold "authentic" chocolate - home grown, fare trade, and all that stuff. Very good chocolate, actually. Most of the chocolate we brought was from there.
