A chocolatier in France has set sail in his newly built boat made entirely out of chocolate.
The 3.5m vessel got off to a choppy start but was soon afloat in front of a crowd of onlookers at the port of Concarneau. The sugary ship was built as part of a bet to see if he could make a seaworthy boat from the substance.
