The strategy was to blend culinary artistry with architectural grandeur, offering a premium, immersive activation to prompt awe and indulgence. The goal was to create a cultural touchpoint where chocolate was experienced, remembered, and rooted in French excellence.
The activation's centrepiece was a monumental 2.25-metre-long chocolate sculpture of Notre Dame, meticulously crafted by Baptiste Moreau, former pastry chef at L’École Valrhona Paris.
Travellers could sip Valrhona’s signature hot chocolate, personalise their gift creations at a live Gift Atelier with on-site ribbon printing, and shop limited-edition praline gift boxes and chocolate bars featuring intricate Notre Dame designs in Paris-themed, gold-accent packaging.
