Chocolate, the jewel in the crown of French gastronomy, is one of the most popular dishes in France and abroad. It is consumed at regular intervals throughout the year and is even more popular during our calendar holidays.
Working with chocolate is part of pastry-making but is an art. Like any product with high added value, it requires a high level of technical expertise.
Therefore, you should come and develop your skills with Meilleur Ouvrier de France Chocolatier-Confiseur 2019, Vincent Durant. At his side, you will (re)discover and work with chocolate around current recipes, all in finesse and greediness at the same time.
