The Chocolate Show underscored chocolate artisans’ efforts to take a strong stand for collective environmental responsibility. In particular, they support biodegradable packaging and certified production methods in order to promote environmentally responsible chocolate that respects both producers and consumers.

Then there was the much awaited fashion show of chocolate dresses. Delicious belts, handbags, and even hairdos that both astonish and seduce, as well as the performance troupe Les Farfadets. TV stars sprinkled with chocolate strut on stage, politicians, media stars, and fashion celebrities sit in the audience. The Chocolate Show’s fashion show is a privileged event—especially if you want a seat.

And for those that weren’t lucky enough to encounter the wry humor and persuasive prose of Silvia and Marie.
