Le Lavoir

Three exhibitions in the colors of France

These three exhibitions highlight the unique chocolate eggs creations by artisans chocolatiers in the region, members of the Union of Pâtissiers Chocolatiers, Glaciers et Confiseurs of Alpes-Maritimes. The artisans wished to celebrate Easter by paying a “patriot” tribute in the colors of the French flag, blue, white and red, after the attacks which have cast a shadow over France in 2015.
Artists, children and elderly people were also involved in this great event by creating Easter eggs in wood. Their creations – tagged eggs, covered with blue-white-red or made of steel imitation – had the honor of being exposed among the masterpieces of pastry chefs and chocolatiers.
