A first in France!

Why ShowColat? Cuz it was time. 🍫✨

Bean to Bar keeps growing in France.
Passionate craftsmen, committed producers, increasingly curious consumers…

There was no place to gather, celebrate and share this momentum.

🎉 An event worth this energy.
🌍 An international appointment, open to the general public and professionals.
🍫 A festival that highlights chocolate at its most beautiful: traceability, diversity, link with producers, artisanal strength.
🎯 That’s it, ShowColat.

Brought to you by the European Bean To Bar Chocolate Association, with the support of national associations in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and the UK, this project was conceived by those who make Bean To Bar, for those who make it happen.

📍 In May 2026, Bordeaux will host the first edition.
A city of taste, history, culture — where cocoa has already crossed centuries, and where it will, now, write a new chapter.
