Last year the Chocolate Festival or 'Salon' was held for the first time in the extremely charming town of Argenton-sur-Creuse and the number of exhibitors and visitors were quite impressive, taking into account that the exhibition hall - 'Espace Jean Frappat' - isn't all to spacious.
We went there last year and continued the short tradition this year.
This year the theme was music and particularly the music of Frédéric Chopin.
This of course because one celebrates the bicentenary of his birth.
Otherwise I can't see the link between chocolate and Chopin more than the fact that both his name and chocolate begins alike and that his music might be both sweet and bitter like chocolat.
On the stage they had erected a small 'altar' for Chopin but also for the author and his patron and maecenas George Sand, a person extremely important for his composing but also for his physical and mental health.
She was not only the 'muse' of Chopin but a great author and playwright among other things.
Below some pictures from the Festival and the third picture displays the collection of chocolat we bouht to ourselves.
Look and yearn!
