Fortunately, Pierre Herme still sells their macarons at Nice Airport. Though I am skeptical about buying macarons at the airport, after buying a bad batch of macarons (not from Pierre Herme) once before a flight. Not sure if it was because I bought them later in the day or because flying does something to the quality. I would recommend eating them sooner than later, in any case.

I needed to add this review because google maps doesn't recognize that this place exists!! Only…read morefound this through one lone trusty yelp review but YES this is located in the mall of Galeries Lafayette near the entrance and close to longchamp. Similar to my previous review of its Paris counterparts definitely try these: +orange blossom - has that slight flowery scent and filled with some citrusy light cream ++jasmine - omg. If you like jasmine tea this is delicious and tastes like they captured jasmine into this delicious shimmery macaron ++hazelnut praline - it tastes like NUTELLA so good ++rose and rose litchi (lychee)- it tastes like I'm actually eating a soft crumbly melt in your mouth flower, deliciouS

As we shopped up and down the streets of the Old Town, this was a great find…read more We were quickly drawn in with all the various displayed products. The two associates were so helpful explains the types of spices and salts. We loved the flavors of the salts. Selected several to take home. Secondly was the choice of jams. We waited until our return home to break the seals on all three and sampled. Wonderful homemade freshness. The pepper grinders, flavored vinegar and spices all looked inviting. I recommend that you step in and sample some of the product and plan what you will take home. We ended up stopping by three times to visit. Perfect discovery.

Maison Auer is an incredible chocolatier and such a special stop in Nice. The shop is beautiful and…read morefull of charm, and the history of the place makes the experience even better. The staff are very friendly and clearly passionate about their craft, which adds so much to the visit. The chocolates are outstanding, rich, fragrant, and beautifully made. Their candied fruits are amazing as well, and there are plenty of samples so you can try different things before choosing. Everything feels traditional, thoughtful, and very French in the best way. It's the perfect spot to experience classic sweets in a gorgeous setting. A must-visit if you're exploring Old Nice or want to bring home something special.

This is a fantastic shop for yourself or great for keepsakes and gifts to friends and coworkers…read more The chocolates bring a bit of France back home to where you're traveling to. Pricing is reasonable. They're touristy but not price gouging. Customer service is great. Very friendly. Highly recommend. Very tasty selections.

Forget about Pierre Hermé in Paris - that stuff is not worth the hype and price. Walking into Lacroix is like walking back in time - you can smell all the tradition this place has held.

I got here a few minutes before they closed on a Thursday afternoon. The guy at the counter was friendly and didn't rush me.

I had the noir cake. A dark chocolate ganache with mousse layers and base cake layer. It was what…read moreI expect from a chocolatier shop. Small but every bite satisfying. My only critique is the base layer was a tad dry. I bought some chocolates at about a euro plus a candy. Maybe, keep the kiddies away from this shop. Wonderful service with a pleasant clean vibe.

The caramel was our favorite and the close second was the yogurt with berry! We are regretting not getting a larger pack. Also, many of their dessert items label their ingredients, so for people like me who can't have gluten, it was great to see what I could order... though I only got the macarons. However, be prepared to be drooling when you go in. Next time I'll definitely want to try their chocolates and their fancy desserts!

This was the first stop on our mid-August chocolate rampage through Nice. (Actually, it was our…read morethird stop, but the first two places had notes taped to the door - "Closed for vacation. Be back when we feel like it!" Viva la France!!!) I think Jeff de Bruges is a chain, and in fact, it seems they have several locations in Nice alone, but this is the one WE found. Compared to some other chocolateries we have visited, the display case was a bit small and the selection was not as overwhelming as some others, but I just tasted a sample of our bounty from there (a milk chocolate with caramel filling - which literally just poured out into my mouth when I took a bite. WOW!) and I think we will be pleased with the goodies we bought there. Later in our meanderings, we saw a local with a Jeff de Bruges bag. We took that as a good sign. As I work through the reviews in this leg of our "confection research," I suspect I will make several references to my crashing through these interactions with my broken French. In this case, the woman behind the counter was very sweet and helpful. I think she had excellent English, but she seemed to realize I was trying to practice my French and stayed in the game. Of all the chocolate shops we visited that day, she took the prize as friendliest chocolatier of the day. (Though a lovely older man in a subsequent review gave her a good run for that title!) They also have chocolate bar/tablets, if you just want to get the goods and run! You have options here. We like that.
