I hate giving out reviews with less than 3 stars, especially to bakeries here in France. However,…read moremy husband and I were disappointed with the macarons we bought here. Although most people associate the macaron with Paris, it was originally made in Saint-Emilion. According to local legend, the macaron was created by Carmelite nuns who wanted to use almond flour as the base because it was filling. Macarons here are slightly different because the recipe uses freshly ground almonds instead of the drier almond flour used in most macaron recipes. This recipe results in a denser macaron. The macarons we bought here were very expensive and quite stale. I understand that we arrived during the off-season and during a time when the country was still under a form of lockdown (people from outside of France could not travel here), so they may not have been as fresh. However, the price should have been accordingly adjusted for an item that was less than fresh, which is customarily done here.

We grabbed a plastic bag and went around filling it with white, milk, and dark chocolates wth pralines, nuts, fruits, and caramel. We meant to take it home with us but it didn't last too long as we went through half of it on the bus ride back to port. OOPS! We did manage to get a medium sized jar of salted caramel which we haven't tried but I assume it's going to be awesome. I got a handful of chocolate covered raisins and they blew Raisinets out of the water! Friendly service and she spoke some English. Merci Beaucoup!!! Great find in Bordeaux.
