The chocolate capital of the world is all set to indulge in a sinful weekend

The chocolate lovers can now rejoice! No more waiting for a reason to indulge and savour the sinful chocolate treat. At the Bruge’s annual Choco-Laté festival held in the Belfort bell tower, visitors can savour and experience their favourite dessert in all possible shapes & forms!

Choco-Laté is the festival of sweet sins… The sensations that chocolate makers offer at dozens of stands seduce the patrons and submerge them in an atmosphere of indulgence and pure enjoyment.

The festival is set to host a gamut of activities, making mouths water and waistlines expand with a list of innovative, fun filled programs from body painting, demonstrations in chocolate recipes, creations by chocolate artists, Chocolate sculptures, a chocolate village for kids, a “chocolate walk” through the town of Bruges and many more interesting and innovative activities.

During live demonstrations, top chefs, bakers and chocolate makers let visitors discover chocolate creations and recipes that they can try out themselves. Attention is paid to the wide variety of ‘creative applications’ with chocolate. Sculptors, painters, and body painters will create works of art using chocolate.

Besides pleasing the taste buds, chocolate has also been used increasingly in beauty products and for a healthy lifestyle. Chocolate massages, chocolate packs or cocoa therapies are just a few of the treatments that could be presented to the visitors. Chocolate's role in a healthy and balanced diet is also given an important place at the fair.

Though chocolate in all forms is appetising, the classy combination of chocolate with a nice glass of wine, a big chocolate fondue with fruit etc. can open imagined experiences of this dessert! Choco-Laté will demonstrate the art of deliciously combining chocolate with other delicacies.

And lastly, for the most loyal patrons of the cocoa – the festival offers a Choco-Laté junior – a creative corner for children where they can explore their creativity in chocolate through fun body painting, sculpting and decorating etc.
