Throughout the contest, they were tempering chocolate, preparing cakes and desserts, moulding pralines and assembling showpieces. After having trained for months, this was their moment of truth to show to the entire world what they can do with the finest chocolate…

The event was followed by professionals and chocolate lovers from every corner of the world. Many came to Paris to support their favourite and get a glimpse of their creations.
