Meet Chef Stéphan Perrotte at the 18th fête du Chocolat de Réaumur on April 23 & 24, 2022.
Gourmet market, folk dances, chocolate bar, children's clowns, bike races and festive meals and FREE ADMISSION.
Based on an original idea by the Cercle des Amis de Réaumur association, the Fête du Chocolat aims to showcase the Manoir des Sciences tourist site around the theme of chocolate, which has been in vogue in France since the 18th century, when René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur lived.
Based on the Christmas market model, we came up with the idea of an Easter market, with exhibitors of local produce and arts and crafts, as well as various activities for children, all set against the enchanting backdrop of the landscaped grounds of the Manoir de Réaumur, a tourist site of the Communauté de Communes du Pays de Pouzauges.
The 18th edition will feature a wide range of events:
- Gastronomic market with producers from the 4 corners of France
- Clowns, with their little train, sculpted balloons and merry-go-round for children
- Les Joyeux Vendéens" folk group with traditional dancers and musicians
