Behind the glamour lies a storied legacy rooted in passion and vision. Created in Paris in 1994 by Sylvie Douce and François Jeantet, Salon du Chocolat was born from a desire to elevate chocolate to its rightful place as both art and culture. What began as a gathering of artisans has grown into a global phenomenon spanning major cities worldwide.
