As we are chocolat lovers, we decided to visit the first Chocolat Festival in Argenton sur Creuse, a very charming city with - among other things - a museum displaying the history of the shirt and male elegance (Musée de la Chemiserie et de l'élégance masuline).
But today the chocolat was the most important subject in Argenton sur Creuse.
Manufacturers of chocolat from around France had gathered to exhibit their different specialities.
As being the first chocolat festival held in the 'salle des fêtes', there were only ten exhibitors and the size of the building was somewhat to small.
Afterwards though, we read that the festival had been visited by 5000 people during these two days. Quite impressing but the French love chocolat and delicacies as we know!
The last few years we've visited the Chocolat Festival in Stockholm, held in Nordiska Museet ('The Nordic Museum'), a much larger event of course but on the other hand a smaller event than the chocolat festival (Salon du Chocolat) in Paris, New York or Tokyo!
We talked with one of the exhibitors and he told us that his firm had visited the chocolat festival in Stockholm some years ago.
