And The Band Played On: Photos from the European Candy Kettle Club Reception
Inside the exhibition center, Jean-Luc Grisot, the managing director of Valrhona as well as key members of the company’s management team, enjoyed cocktails with the ECKC, their spouses and guests. And then, the band started playing.
For the European Candy Kettle Club (ECKC) members and guests, the bus ride from l’Hotel de France in Valence, France to the Palais du Congres Sud Rhone-Alpes proved rather short. Nonetheless, the memories from that evening will last long into that and future nights.
As dusk began to settle, the bus stopped at the gates of the 14-hectare park that houses the exposition center. The anticipation grew as members and guests walked past a serene lake glistening in the ebbing light.
