Gourmet Selection, Porte de Versailles, Halle 5.2

 

Yesterday Solli said,”we HAVE to go to Gourmet Selection at Porte de  Versailles”, Halle 5.2

We used to only go to deluxe afternoon teas at posh hotels pre-Instagram days…

Salon Du Chocolat Design

 The Salon du Chocolat always offers up much eye candy in the way of innovative packaging. Francois Pralus got the ball rolling years ago using a rainbow of bright colors to package his bars (instead of the tres boring chocolate brown still used by some chocolatiers).

 A multi-vert/green stack from Pralus.

 A pretty copycat from Darcis.

 Happy colors for Arnaud Larher's macaron boxes.

 I love seeing the product through the box - these macaron coques/shells from Sadaharu Aoki.

 

 Beautiful shades of honey/miel at the Salon. It's not just chocolate!

 Golden wrapped maron glacee sitting in copper pot - simply lush from Frederic Cassel of Fontainebleau.

 More delights from Frederic Cassel...

 Chocolat Chapon never disappoints with a combination of contempory and old-fashioned design.

 Nothing wrong with an old-fashioned pink box of Beschle Swiss chocolates tied with a green bow ever.

Can you imagine a better way to package your Smart Car then enrobed in Pierre Herme macarons? Miam
 

Here's a look inside the golden wrapped chocolate packaging of Ferrero Rocher step-by-delicious step



Do go to the Salon du Chocolat and try one!
