On November 10, Seoul’s COEX Live Plaza and Starfield Library will host Food Experience 2025, a French culinary festival presented by the French Embassy’s Business France and LePain. Framed as a Christmas market, the one-day event brings iconic French brands—Leroux (chicory coffee), Malongo (fair‑trade coffee), Les Comtes de Provence (Provence jam), Le Chocolatier Sablais (chocolates), and Prunier (caviar)—for tastings and brand talks. Award-winning bakeries, including Des Racines et du Pain and winners of the LePain Baguette & Croissant Championship, will run pop‑ups filling the venue with fresh bread aromas. Ferrandi Paris (a renowned culinary school) will offer admissions counseling. From 1–3 PM, a special atelier pairs Malongo’s barista Jeremy Hubert with Valrhona chef Kim Hye-rin to explore coffee and chocolate culture. The festival concludes with the LePain Baguette & Croissant Championship awards, presented by Ambassador Philippe Bertoux and Cultural Attaché Pierre Morcos. The event aims to share French gastronomy’s philosophy and warm holiday spirit in the heart of Seoul.
