Bakery professionals from around the world will look to Paris next spring for business ideas from some of the masters. Europain 2005, to take place April 16-20 next year at the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, will feature more than 50 demonstrations.

“Europain is unique because France has always had, and still has today, a special relationship with bread, which has played a key role in its history and development as a nation,” Europain officials say. “For the French, bread is more than just a foodstuff–it’s a national symbol.”

About 80,000 visitors attend the trade show, which features 600 exhibitors. For more information about Europain 2005, call Promosalon USA at 703/522-5000 ext. 120 or visit www.europain.com.
