Europain approaches
The Europain exhibition takes place at Parc des Expositions near Paris, on March 6-10. The largest hall is aimed at craft bakers, but the show is also targeted at industrial bakers as well as confectioners, chocolatiers and patissiers. Adults and students will take part in competitions and there will be a special ’shop’ for bakers to buy ancillaries.
