From October 26 to 28, Deauville (Normandy) will host Pâtiss’Art, a new pastry show aimed at both professionals and the general public, and which expects to receive more than 10,000 visitors.

Nina Métayer, chosen Best Pastry Chef in the World 2024 by 50 Best Restaurants, will be the godmother of the first edition. “When I heard about the idea of ​​making pastry accessible on our beautiful Normandy coast, I couldn’t say no. I love being the godmother of the first 100% pastry salon outside of Paris,” she said.

The program will consist of an exhibition area, master classes, demonstrations, immersive workshops, round tables, and the “Imaginaire” art exhibition with a selection of photographs and sculptures by Patrick Rougereau. At Pâtiss’Live, leading chefs and sector specialists will give conferences and master classes on sourcing and vegetable trends, among other topics. For those who want to learn, Pâtiss’Class will gather professionals who will perform demonstrations and teach tricks of the trade. While at Pâtiss’Factory, thematic workshops will be held with very limited places. And Pâtiss’Hub is ideal for companies looking to recruit new talent.

This new event will also feature two professional competitions: La quinzaine Pàtiss’Art, which invites bakers, pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and restaurateurs from the region to create a signature dessert dedicated to the fair, and the French Cake Design Championship.
