Chocolate Fair celebrates island culture

The Chocolate Fair on Saint-Nicolas Square featured numerous animations, contests, and performances over the weekend, drawing thousands of visitors. Organized by Paul Pierinelli, who has honored chocolate and the island's delights for 14 years, the event welcomed island artisans, chefs, and world champions.

Artisans showcase chocolate's creative potential

The fair included three days of discoveries, meetings, and conviviality, with a spectacular show as a highlight. This year's show offered a journey through time with "Femmes d'Éclats," where artisans showcased the art of chocolate. Ghislaine Ferri, founder of Queen'G, was among the participants.

A symbolic dress blends tradition and modernity

She continues to refine her skills with a stylist from Bastia. At the last edition of Creazione at the Palais des gouverneurs, she presented a magnificent lace collection, bold and elegant. For this fair, she combined chocolate, mandarins, and immortelles in a dress worn by young Élodie from the Miss Corsica 15/17 years committee.

The dress represents Corsican identity and pride

Ghislaine Ferri described the dress as representing the youth that keeps traditions alive, and she emphasized the importance of passing on pride of origins and freedom to become the women they wish to be. She stated that the dress is not simply fabric, flowers, and lace, but a memory carried, a love passed on, and a story refused to be forgotten.

Ghislaine and her dress to appear in Ajaccio

It represents the Corsican woman in all her beauty: strong and sensitive, courageous and generous, deeply attached to her roots, but always looking toward the future. Ghislaine and her dress will be present at the Ajaccio Chocolate Fair at the end of this month.

Local sports teams face mixed results

Meanwhile, the GFC Ajaccio lost in Reims for their debut in D2 Volstar Mobilization on October 17 in Corsica, leading to anger in the streets and clashes in Ajaccio. Femu a Corsica is organizing for the legislative elections and plans to respond strike for strike.

Handball and football teams show varied performance

In handball N2, Corte - Ile-Rousse defeated Grenoble 36-32. In football N2, Corte is still searching for its first victory.
