Chocolat

Haute Coutre - en chocolat of course.

Autumn is my favorite season in France, because it marks the start of the salons (expositions).  This is the time of year when there are frequent events where artisans come together to show off their creativity and foodies indulge.  These salons range from large, international expositions to ones organized by small local groups.  All have food finds waiting to be discovered.

Thomas and I try to take full advantage of these events to discover the flavors of our new home.  Friday, Thomas and I went to the Salon du Chocolat.  In two week we'll head to the Salon du Vignerons Indépendents (independent wine makers).  And we are holding our breaths for Salon Saveurs where artisans who make all the good accoutrements that together make up a wonderful evening (prosciutto, cheese, wine, and chocolates).
