Is anyone attending this year's Salon du Chocolat? it's incredible! Buy did I have a fabulous chocolate fix at Bread and Roses. Have many readers been there??

Joe -- by the time the article was printed, more chocolate boutiques opened and closed. And more people gained weight!!!

Plus - just post Valentine's Day.

Just looked at the article, and sad to say, we were not at any of them when we were there 2 years ago. I do remember my wife leaving a puddle of drool outside the Maison du Chocolat in the 16th, as it was close to my friend's apartment. Also inside the store, waiting to buy a small box of dark chocolates for some exorbitant numbers of euros. That chain was not on your list.

How many of you have read this article in today's NY Times?

If you are a chocolate lover, you'll be in heaven. Remember, DARK chocolate and Bordeaux. ;-) and you won't gain a pound,

Have a look at the web sites I've listed there (post of May 13) and your mouth will be watering, promis!

So...

If you are "stuck" in Paris before the BIG Chocolatey event Oct 7 - til 13th....where do you get the best chocolate goodies??

Especially somthing to ring home for my sweetheart??

Good point, Chuck.

As for myself, I would have never forgotten about it. Which proves....

I am and I will be there. Thus, for me, two posts are sweet reminders.

Ursula, I am sorry about the repetition. I forgot about the posting, which proves that I am not a Chocoholic.

Chuck,
I suspect you are a hidden chocoholic.
You posted already about the Salon du Chocolat on April 4 this year.

This show is enough to make chocolate lovers go into diabetic shock. Not only are the chocolate creators on hand but ALSO the vendors.

This is the one (pre-opening) press event I never miss. And, I've NEVER had any trouble finding someone to accompany me,

Wonder why?

Too bad, that's after I get back I love anything and everything chocolat

The best Chocolat makers of France will display their creations at the Salon du Chocolat! October 28 through October 31, 2004. at "Hall 5, Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles. Ir info: www.chocoland.com.
