Paris, 16th April 2004 - At Intersuc/Europain fair at Paris Nord, the French selection for the World Chocolate Masters took place.

A jury of French chocolate experts selected the gold, silver and bronze winners for the "Présentation" and "Dégustation".

The overall winner was Olivier Vidal from Dijon. Special Awards were also given to Loîc Bret from Issingeaux, who obtained most points for taste. Nicolas Cloiseaux from Puteaux won the award for the Chocolate Showpiece and the commercial piece.
