Organized by Ar Collection Hotels in collaboration with Ferrandi Paris Campus de Rennes, the competition is open to students and enthusiasts. One simple rule: reimagine this classic of French pastry while adding your own creative and personal touch.
A pastry reimagined with creativity
The principle of the contest is simple: each participant must create a traditional Paris-Brest, but with an additional ingredient that reflects their inspiration. The goal? To surprise the jury with a creation that is as elegant as it is delicious, while keeping the essence of this emblematic pastry intact.
We're totally up for tasting everything, haha!
