Patrick Roger's creation will be used to raise funds for a television charity
|
|
event to support research into neuromuscular diseases.
|
|
|
|
The tree, which is currently towering inside the chocolatier's factory in
|
|
Sceaux, weighs four tonnes and according to Mr Roger's is a piece of
|
|
"architecture".
|
|
|
|
He said: "To achieve this kind of architecture - because this really is a
|
|
piece of architecture - we used a sort of cavity inside to make the chocolate
|
|
solid enough, because there is very strong vertical pressure."
|
|
|
|
The chocolate Christmas tree will be shown on France's Telethon, a nationwide
|
|
charity appeal show, and viewers will receive part of the sugary sculpture in
|
|
exchange for a donation.
|
|
|
|
Mr Roger's laboratory also features a wide range of other chocolate
|
|
sculptures, including small Santas, reindeers and other figurines.
