The warmth of cocoa, the laughter of children, the sweet aroma of chocolate melting under your fingers...

As part of the Brazil-France 2025 Season, come and share a moment with your family at an original workshop dedicated to the making of Brigadeiros, the irresistible chocolate truffles from Brazil.
At the helm of this gourmet adventure, Marina de La Brigaderie de Paris, ambassador for Brazilian cocoa, invites you to plunge into the sensory and cultural world of chocolate. To get you started, she offers a lively and accessible discovery of the cocoa fruit, its varieties, history and by-products, to arouse the curiosity of young and old alike.
No time for daydreaming, as theworkshop quickly gets down to business! You'll need to don your chocolate-making apron and get to work. As a family, you'll learn step-by-step how to make your own Brigadeiros, the little chocolate balls that are emblematic of Brazilian festivities. An activity that's as tactile as it is tasty, perfect for little cooking enthusiasts and adults curious about new gourmet cultures.
Once you've mastered the basics, it's time to personalize: you can let your creativity flow by testing a variety of coatings to give your sweets a unique touch. Sweet, crunchy, melting, colorful... anything goes to make this culinary specialty your own.
This workshop is designed as a convivial, participatory experience, ideal for a Saturday afternoon with family, friends or children. Younger children will discover the joys of culinary creation, while adults enjoy a moment of sharing around the history and flavors of other lands. The atmosphere is warm, accessible and geared towards cultural exchange.
And good news: the workshop is entirely free of charge, but places are limited! You'll need to book in advance to take part in this exceptional activity. If you're passionate about chocolate, curious about foreign traditions or simply looking for an original outing in May, don't miss this appointment.
The France-Brazil 2025 Season is in full swing, and this type of event creates real cultural bridges between the two countries. This workshop is in line with this dynamic, and honors an emblematic Brazilian specialty in a fun, intergenerational format accessible to all.
