   Part of being tagged is I need to re-post my 6th blog photo. 
I did post that one few weeks ago, so I thought I'd re-post the 16th photo instead.

This colorful selection of spices was found at the Salon du Chocolat

in Paris last November.

This yearly event is a magnet for chocolate lovers. 

I know you are thinking - so where's the chocolate?

Salon du Chocolat Paris

Bonjour!  Just spent the day at the Salon du Chocolat today in Paris.  In case you have not heard about it, the Salon du Chocolat is an exposition dedicated to chocolat – actually a gigantic homage to chocolat.

The Salon features the delectable creations of the likes of Maison de Chocolat, Pierre Marcolini, Jean-Paul Hévin, Sadaharu AOKI as well a host of artisinal vendors outside of Paris.

They are not just chocolatiers, they are artists.  Here is a small sampling of

 L'Art du Chocolat to tempt your tastbuds.

Sadaharu AOKI's pretty chocolats are infused with parfums like Earl Grey, Rose and Wasabi.

One lonely lady at the end diplayed a collection of porcelain chocolat pots which I love. 

The center stage offers a special show every hour, including the creative chocolat fashion show, which lets the choclatiers show off their sweet fashion designs.   We caught two shows which featured dancers from Mexico and Brazil.

I just had to buy some of the artisinal products like honey, chocolat à tartiner (chocolat spread), gourmandises, and a few things from this eye-catching presentation of spices, teas and colorful sugars.

Thankfully the macarons were not forgotten.  

There were lots of samples to nibble on (too many!) and it is always surprising to see how many true chocolat lovers there are.

The perfect addition to your boudoir!  Mmmm...
