L'Escalade marmites

The city is full of these chocolate cauldrons, called marmites, for L'Escalade. The celebration will be over a weekend, and we cannot wait to join in the festivities!

We bought a dark chocolate marmite and a white chocolate marmite. The "vegetables" inside, which represent vegetable soup, are made of marzipan, although some of them don't taste like anything more than sugar.
