Iconic Parisian bakery known for its French macarons and elegant tea room
"I saw Ladurée on site offering macarons for those who can’t make it to the Paris Olympics, presented as a premium dessert option." - Evan Caplan
"I found Ladurée selling refined, colorful French macarons from a stand outside the main court, offering a sweet, upscale counterpoint to the savory concessions." - Evan Caplan
"Thanks to loads of press and a swift global expansion in 2005 (there are now outposts in New York, London, Lebanon, Japan, Sweden, Hong Kong, Brazil, Los Angeles, and more), the Ladurée celadon green is almost as iconic as Tiffany blue or Hermès orange. It all started in 1862 at 16 rue Royale, when writer Louis Ernest Ladurée opened a pastry shop. Though macarons had been kicking around France since the sixteenth century, when Catherine de Medici introduced them from Italy, Ladurée’s grandson revolutionized the concept in 1930 by using a bit of ganache to create a macaron sandwich. Beyond sweets, Ladurée's dinner service is great, with a kid-friendly menu that adults can enjoy, too. Although the original Ladurée is a fixture on the Champs-Elysées, there are multiple locations throughout the city to enjoy. "
