Le Cordon Bleu Paris is delighted to announce that it will be taking part in the Salon de la Pâtisserie from 17 to 19 June at the Parc Floral in Paris. This year’s edition of the not-to-be-missed annual event is set to shine a light on healthy and creative pastry, sponsored by Christophe Felder. It promises to be a truly indulgent treat, featuring over 100 Chefs, over 65 pastry workshops, over 100 masterclasses, 2 amateur competitions and over 35 events each day.  

As one of the Salon de la Pâtisserie’s partners, Le Cordon Bleu Paris is committed to showcasing its educational focus by giving its Pastry students the opportunity to work side-by-side with the Chefs during their cooking demonstrations. Under the watchful eye of the institute’s Chef Instructors, they will have the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice and to watch leading Pastry Chefs at work.

During the pastry fair, Maison Pariès will host a competition to crown the Best Gateau Basque, with Chef Fabrice Danniel, Assistant Director of Culinary Arts at Le Cordon Bleu Paris and Head of the Pastry and Bakery Department, serving as a jury member.
