Particularly the dark chocolate dipped orange slices. I'm saved! One box of that for my wife and one box of the chocolate hazelnuts for me. The young man working the counter wrapped them nicely and spoke perfect English. Easy, pleasy! [Review 12205 overall, 1989 of 2019.]

I had tried macaroons in France and in the US, but I had never been impressed. The macaroon from la Maison du Chocolat was so light and just melted in my mouth, "lighter than the air" as they say. I'm going back to get more! Highly recommended! ***************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my future reviews.

I was looking at the kiosk when the worker offered me a free chocolate sample, which was very delicious. She told me that all of the macarons are filled with a chocolate ganache, which I thought was very interesting. I got the Venezuela ("Dark Chocolate with a Woody Note" and Pistachio Macaron. The Venezuela was a dark chocolate which I loved, although I didn't really get the "woody notes" The pistachio flavor wasn't super strong and balanced well with the dark ganache. for upward of 3 euros each, these are definitely more of a treat than an every day snack, but I will be back next time I'm in Paris!

We went in here because my sister wanted to buy a box of chocolate for a friend. The store sells chocolates by the kilo, packaged candies such as caramels, meringues, biscuits, cookies and etc....Also you cannot miss the large variety of macarons they have on display. The ladies working in there are very friendly and have samples ready for their customers. We saw a sign for 7€ for 100 grams of chocolate, which seems to be a good deal. I bought the deal, but had the lady who was helping me choose the chocolates for me. Too many choices and they all looked good! The nice thing is the pieces are small, and that's good because the milk chocolate ones are a little sweeter than I like. She asked me if I wanted it boxed as in a gift for someone or in a regular bag. It was only a gift for myself, so I just had it bagged. The chocolates were good. The 100 grams were just enough to snack on for a few days. The milks were definitely sweater than the darks, so if you prefer then less sweet, get their dark chocolate. The two young ladies in there who were working were very friendly and very eager to help. Next time we're in Reims, I'd come back here and try their other confections like their macarons and other candies!

Pierre Hermé If you…read moreknow Pierre Hermé from social media and all the viral videos, then this review needs no introduction. But if you haven't, this is a strong contender for worthy macarons in Paris and at a convenient location across the street from Ladurée. Located inside L'Occitane in the most gorgeous floor space ever, you will find Pierre Hermé at the center of it all. They have an impressive array of flavors that were much more unique than other patisseries. I definitely asked for a few recommendations as well since I tend to order the same thing (pistachio, raspberry, lemon, etc.) The workers were very kind. They indulged my request to converse in French and corrected me in a respectful and endearing way (I know some people get upset at this idea but I personally prefer it.) I had ordered a dozen macarons but truthfully would've ordered the entire lot if I wasn't alone and especially if I wasn't already taking a ton of sweets back for my flight home. I am a Ladurée purist and what I can say is that Pierre Hermé definitely had the best and most unique flavors compared to the two. The prices are fairly comparable and the coffrets are just as tasteful. Both are strong contenders and worthy of your money. I certainly will be returning and look forward to trying the rest of their selection. (15/50--2025)

Okay okay...I know Pierre Hermé is a super touristy macaron shop, and the Pierre Hermé on Champs…read moreElysée is probably the MOST touristy you can get, but I can't help but give this place five stars. Pierre Hermé is home to some of the best macarons I've had in my life -- which is probably too many for the good of my health -- and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the macarons, the staff's attention to detail, and all the unique flavors this shop had to offer. As a popular macaron shop in one of the hottest tourist destinations in Paris, this location is undeniably crowded. There's usually a huge line circling around a central display of macaron after macaron. The line looks pretty intimidating, but it moves quite quickly, and there are so many flavors that it'll probably be helpful to have a bit of extra time to review the menu. My friend and I split a pack of four macarons, including their seasonal isapahan (rose, lychee, raspberry), infiniment praliné pistache, and a jardin de cassandre (red currant, rhubarb). The macarons were delightful. I loved the two seasonal items; they were delightfully fruity and slightly floral, and I loved the slightly tangy flavor from the raspberry in the isapahan and rhubarb / currants in the jardin de cassandre. The praliné pistache was nice and nutty, and the inner cream offered a great additional richness. It's usually super crowded so seating tends to be quite limited. My friend and I ended up taking our macarons to go and enjoyed them elsewhere as we toured Champs Elysée.
