As a recently converted chocophile and addict, I truly appreciate that chocolate indulgence is one of the perks of living in Switzerland. Not only that, but many towns in neighbouring France are also excellent destinations for us pilgrims of the gourmet world.
Jumping at the chance, this week-end 'The Family' and I headed to Divonne-les-Bains (a small but popular French spa town about 20 minutes north-east of Geneva) for the annual "Salon franco-suisse du chocolat".
What can I say but YUM ? We bumped into quite a few people we knew: some dipping their fruit skewers happily into the chocolate fountain, some queueing for the delightful tasters, while I tried to look dignified in spite of a conspicuous chocolate moustache.
There was also a stand for French chocolatier Sébastian Brocard's shop. He is the famous pâtissier who won the gold medal at France's Dessert Championship (now there's a championship I wouldn't mind attending).
The choice of macaroons was also incredible, I felt like Marie Antoinette in the Sofia Coppola movie. Feast your eyes on these photos: bon appétit !
