[What is Diners Club France Patisserie Week?]

A pastry festival held since 2021 with the mottos of “supporting French pastry shops and pastry chefs nationwide” and “rediscovering the charm of traditional French pastries.” Artisans from pastry shops and hotels across the country create their own unique versions based on that year’s common theme and offer them for sale for a limited time.Each shop is free to set its own ingredients, prices, and daily sales limits. The real thrill lies in being able to “taste-test” these desserts—handmade one by one with the chefs’ utmost dedication, rather than mass-produced.
