Paris Pastries: Ladurée at Rue Bonaparte

Bonjour Paris Pastry readers!

After my lovely experience with Ladurée at the Printemps, I hunted down
one of their stores in the 6th arrondissement in Paris.

The shop lies on the corner of a quiet street.
Ladurée's signature green facade can be spotted from afar.

Ladurée's shop on Rue Bonaparte is not just for picking up pastries, you can
also eat a 3-course meal in the restaurant.

I am not the biggest fan of baking macarons myself, so when I'm in Paris
I have the luxury of buying them.

I bought cinq (five), 4 flavors I hadn't tried before.

Melon, Salted Caramel, Rose, Minty Strawberry & Almond - Cherry.

Rose will always be one of my favorite macaron flavors, which I have
succesfully recreated myself, but I was pleasantly surprised with some
of the new flavors like melon and minty strawberry.

The salted caramel wasn't just filled with a caramel buttercream, but
instead had a thick caramel sauce-like filling!


Bonne Journée,

Daniëlle
