What’s New at the Chocolate Show 2025?
This year, the Chocolate Show celebrates its 30th anniversary. For this special occasion, it highlights a legendary figure in the chocolate scene: Jean-Paul Hévin. A globally recognized master chocolatier and Meilleur Ouvrier de France, he embodies French excellence in chocolate.
The anniversary edition also transforms into a musical comedy, in collaboration with AICOM (the premier school in France dedicated to the performing arts). In a show combining theater, singing, and dancing, we’ll see this year’s new chocolate dresses.
Chocolate Show 2025: What’s the Schedule?
In addition to these new features, the Chocolate Show will continue to offer entertainment for all ages, demonstrations, and tastings. As usual, the best French chocolatiers and pastry chefs, members of Relais Desserts, and other world champions will showcase their most traditional to most innovative creations.
Jeffrey Cagnes is back this year alongside Yann Couvreur and Cedric Grolet. Many other leading figures such as Nina Métayer, Pierre Hermé, and Philippe Conticini will take turns to display their skills. They will share their passion with visitors during lively Pastry Shows hosted by Mercotte.
Visitors can also explore the brand-new Chefs’ Village, a space dedicated to savory offerings, animated by Danny Khezzar and Mallory Gabsi. During cake times, with a cup of tea in hand, you will enjoy sweet treats alongside these pastry chefs.
