The star attraction of the Salon du Chocolat: a chocolate fashion show reimagined as a musical!

A signature Show Musical of the Salon du Chocolat Paris.

On Tuesday 27 October 2026, the Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie opens its new edition with a unique opening night. For more than ten years, the Salon has been working alongside Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque.

Every year, part of the proceeds from the opening night is donated to the charity, enabling children with heart defects to undergo surgery. Having already funded operations for nine children, this year we hope to help a tenth child receive treatment.

The gourmet and musical show

Each performance brings to life a universe where chocolate becomes a true artistic language, expressed through original costumes and choreographed scenes. The Show Musical stands as a signature experience of the Salon du Chocolat Paris, at the crossroads of creation, stage performance and emotion.

Each day, the audience discovers an artistic experience where cocoa becomes a universal language, capable of captivating all generations.

Chocolate costumes, between fashion and indulgence

At the heart of the Show Musical of the Salon du Chocolat Paris, chocolate costumes take center stage. Created by exceptional chocolatiers and designers, they take the form of unique pieces that push the boundaries of imagination.

Each creation becomes a feat of precision and creativity, where chocolate is crafted like a haute couture material. These costumes embody the alliance of craftsmanship and artistic boldness, serving a performance in which chocolate becomes a living work of art.

Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque enables children with heart defects to undergo surgery when it is not possible in their home country due to a lack of technical or financial resources. They are treated in 10 cities in France, 2 in Switzerland and 1 in Belgium. During their stay, they are hosted by volunteer host families, and in Switzerland sometimes in a specialised care home.
