Models in chocolate dresses kick off Paris show

This 26th edition was the first time the Salon du Chocolat trade show was held since the pandemic hit and bore the theme of 'Renassaince'.

Each year, thousands of visitors flock to the Parc des Expositions in Paris to peruse the stands of the 280 exhibitors present.

Visitors will find chocolatiers, patissiers, confectioners, cocoa producing countries and other artisans from all over the world.

This year's trade show will run from October 28 to November 1.
