This year's theme is time. After all, the show will soon be celebrating its 30th anniversary, and its success continues unabated.

This central theme will be highlighted throughout the show. There will of course be parades where time flies, conferences dedicated to training and passing on traditions, the Pastry Show where time is managed with meticulous precision, timed competitions for participants, and special tasting moments at exhibitors' stands.
Every year, this not-to-be-missed event in Paris delights visitors with a wide range of activities. Tastings, workshops and live demonstrations are just some of the reasons to take a stroll down these aisles, where the delicious scent of cocoa entices chocolate lovers.
