The Salon du Chocolat 2025 has something for little chocolate lovers with activities tailored to them.

What chocolate workshops are available for children?

Gourmet workshops will be held throughout the show to introduce young children to the art of pastry making. Children aged 3 to 12 can take part in sessions supervised by professionals, such as coloring on biscuits or creating edible works of art. Other workshops offer a behind-the-scenes look at artisanal chocolate making and teach basic techniques for fun presentation and assembly. These workshops are subject to a fee and require a reservation in addition to the admission ticket, subject to availability. We therefore recommend booking quickly on the official Salon du Chocolat websiteso you don't miss out on these gourmet experiences.

What activities are on the program?

Several activities await families at this chocolate-themed event. We start with the Mascot Dance every morning, which is sure to whet your appetite. Don't hesitate to try out the various games available at the stands. There are even Kids Masterclasses. Be sure to check out the program.

Gone are the traditional fashion shows, replaced by chocolate musicals.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Salon du Chocolat in Paris is revisiting its legendary chocolate dress fashion show with a brand new theme: Musical Theater. Much more than just a gourmet fashion show, it is a true artistic and immersive performance that comes to life every day on stage. A multidimensional show where fashion, chocolate, singing, dancing, and modern technologies merge to create a unique experience.

What other activities are there for children at the show?

La Maison du Père Noël, created in partnership with Maisons du Monde, immerses children in a magical atmosphere with the discovery of 2025 Christmas logs and Advent calendars. An exclusive collaboration with Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet presents original creations that already make you want to celebrate Christmas. Children can also wander among the 250 exhibitors to taste, discover, and leave with their favorite chocolates. Some stands offer tastings specially designed for children, with fun and colorful creations that are a change from the classic chocolate bars.

What are the prices for children?

In terms of prices, it's quite affordable for a family outing. Tickets cost €8 for children aged 6 to 12, while children under 6 get in free. A family pack is available for €44 in advance ( for 2 adults and 2 children, allowing you to enjoy the show without breaking the bank). Parents pay €17 without the package.
