Salon du chocolat: Best 12 EUR I've ever spent

I am exhausted and the happiest I have been on this trip yet!
I just spent one of the best days ever at the Salon du chocolat, where I had some life changing experiences that I will share with you all when I am better rested and have some photos uploaded to illustrate my thoughts.

Here's a little preview for you guys. Note: None of these photos have been photoshop-ed. Their beauty is entirely credited to the amazing artists who created these masterpieces that I was lucky enough to capture on film.

  1. Wish I was there...
    Do you have to pay for samples or is a smile enough?
