Event · Salon du Chocolat · 28 Oct – 1 Nov 2026
To the Salon du Chocolat, without melting in the Métro.
The Salon du Chocolat & de la Pâtisserie — the world's largest chocolate event — fills Pavilion 5 of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from 28 October to 1 November 2026, with an opening night on 27 October. It draws pastry chefs, chocolatiers, international buyers and tens of thousands of visitors over five days that overlap the Toussaint holiday weekend. Families with children, gourmet travellers and exhibiting maisons book our chauffeurs for the same reason: door-to-door comfort between hotel, salon and dinner — with bags of pralines riding safely in a Mercedes rather than a packed tram.
