A four-meter-high chocolate King Kong made by French chocolate company JeanPaul Hevin stole the show, thanks to its true-to-life appearance.
"It originated from the King Kong movie. It took dozens of sculptors about two months to accomplish this sculpture," said sculptor Richard Orlinski.
Orlinski said it is a challenge for him and his team to finish the giant chocolate gorilla due to the unstable temperature.
At the other side of the exhibition hall, a design called "chocolate waltz" with vibrating liquid chocolate highlighted the show.
"Actually, the movement of this design is showed in two aspects. First, the vibration creates different shapes of chocolate; second, the chocolate colors in different zones are not the same, thus showing various of pattens and able to change constantly," said designer Romain Duclos.
Not only chocolate, pastry, sweets and other confectionery food are being showcased at the salon.
The exhibition is expected to be attended by almost 13,000 participants, according to the organizers. It opened on Wednesday and will run until Sunday. — Reuters
