We went all out and tried almost every macaron, and I have to say they were all incredibly fresh and delicious! I also took home one of their teas, which I really enjoyed, and a box of the Eugénies, which quickly became my favorite. I would absolutely get this again in a heartbeat. The ambience is very elegant and fancy, making the experience feel extra special. The staff were super friendly, especially since we weren't sure which flavors to try. After seeing how many items we ordered, they even gave us three free macarons which was such a sweet gesture! They also have super cute merchandise, such as keychains, and a cooler bag. Ladurée is definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves macarons and a charming, upscale atmosphere. read more

There seems to be some inconsistencies with Ladurée. I had the Marie Antoinette after our walk through Versailles and wasn't impressed. However, the one in the box I purchased at the airport in Paris was a lot more flavorful, very fruit loop forward making me wonder which flavor was their intention as it's supposed to be a tea flavor. read more

Ladurée - Tea Rooms Near Me - Versailles, 78

Man Ladurée really is everywhere in Paris? Wasn't even planning to try it in France, but on our visit to the Palace of Versailles we stumbled across it. At that point, I obviously had to try it. Got a Chateau de Versailles box of eight macarons with pistachio, passion sweet clover, milk chocolate coated coconut, and the Marie-Antoinette. Ok, maybe I slept on Ladurée. The macarons are unquestionably better here than in the U.S. I still think Pierre Hermé is better, but not by much. Staff here are friendly, no complaints here. Thankfully because it is such a remote outpost, there really is no line at all. read more

I'm not a macron expert so I thought these were pretty solid. We got the Marie Antoinette's which was a tea flavor, a coconut flavor, chocolate, and coffee. I liked the coffee and Marie Antoinette, the coconut I would pass on as it's coated in chocolate and takes away from the macron taste. Overall solid macron place! read more

Selection is on the limited side. If you're planning to visit Paris, I would stop by the Ladurée pâtisseries on Champs-Élysées or Ru Royale instead. The only upside to this location is the short wait. The store is on the Garden Level of the Palace of Versailles, near the Queen's staircase. It's accessible from the Royal Courtyard if you're coming from outside. Based on some floor plans, I think the space used to be the bedchamber of Françoise d'Aubigné, known as Madame de Maintenon. Inside there is a display case with twelve macaron flavors available for purchase. The room also contains cabinets along the walls, displaying other merchandise like candles, keychains, books, tote bags, and room sprays. I don't remember if the prices were higher compared to other stores, but everything you see can be bought on their website. Since it is a smaller outpost, they don't offer other pastries (flan, tarts, cakes), ice cream, or brunch items. I was bummed to find out they also don't sell macarons individually, you have to buy one of their sets. The smallest box is 6 pieces, and they also have sets of 8, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 28, and 35. They come in various colors, shapes, and sizes; making it a nice gift for anyone and everyone. Overall, the macarons were very well made. The outer cookie shell was delicate and soft, but still had a slight crunch. I found the inner part sweet and well-balanced with the cookie, with just the right amount of filling. If you haven't tried Pierre Hermé, I would make a stop there as well! The closest one is inside the Westfield Parly 2 shopping center about 5 kilometers away. read more

Ladurée - Macaron Assortment ⋅ Château - Versailles, France - Tea Rooms Near Me - Versailles, 78

Ladurée is always a staple for me every time I drop by Versailles. Why? The macaron is incomparable here! I first discovered it when I was 13 and never went back. I've been comparing the brand to others ever since. It's everything about this brand; Ladurée sticks out! The packaging, the flavours and the way it just melts in your mouth! I haven't had other macarons come close to this. Again, I came back at 21 and spoiled myself. Just one box, I told myself. Just one. I came out with 2 all to myself. No sharing. Now, living in my hometown of Vancouver I found out my favourite place made a home here. Never been happier! Also, if you scrolled down my reviews... you'd see I reviewed the one from Vancouver too! This place has a special place in my heart. read more

Expensive? Yes!, Worth it? Yes!! Personally when I plan my vacation, a little splurging goes in the budget, I didn't come to a different land to end up buying the SOS from Mc Donalds, Starbucks and the same old American fast food - Coming to places like Ladurée adds to the fun and pleasures of traveling, it has been my philosophy that when it comes to food especially in foreign places, we need to immerse ourselves as it adds to the experience and joy of traveling BUT it's just me - I'm up for any adventures especially if food is involved! besides, you're in freakin France!! So go for it!! This Ladurée is in Versailles, I swear to the gods of sweets these macarons are TDF! Yeah-yeah, some people will say it's just Macarons and they're all the same...Uhm---NO... these Macarons are THE MACARONS, absolutely melt in your mouth de.leeee.cioussss!!! I also went to the one along the busy and fashionable streets of Champs Elysee in Paris, If I could stuff my back pack full of these babies, I swear I would but that'll also mean I'm not eating anything during my 10 days stay in France but these ha ha - they are a tad pricey than your typical Macarons but like what I said, it's worth the try. For a little taste of France, I highly suggest trying these colorful pieces of heaven, you won't regret it. read more

The creators of the macaron, you can never go wrong with Ladurée. There are macarons everywhere in Paris, however Ladurée will always be superior (even to Pierre Hermé). Ladurée's macarons are soft and have the right texture and quality filling. Got the pistachio and Marie Antoinette flavors. I believe Marie Antoinette might be an exclusive flavor to Versailles? I was told it's flavor was a combo of orange, tea, and honey. Quite sweet but definitely a unique flavor. read more

Ladurée - The best - Tea Rooms Near Me - Versailles, 78

It's a bummer you can't buy individual macaroons here! But I did find some splendid gifts for my friends here. It's a very small shop but no crazy lineups. read more

Ladurée has my favorite macarons in the city, far superior to their biggest competitor, Pierre Hermé. The macs here have more flavor and better texture: the perfectly shatteringly light and crisp exteriors lead to nice chewy centers, and they have so much more flavor than Pierre Hermé. However, this location is a drag. After exploring the palace of Versailles and just wanting to feel a tad like royalty and eat a macaron in the gardens, you're forced to buy one of their special boxes with a minimum of 8! You can't buy them individually, and you have to spend more on the damn box. That's so silly. We weren't the only frustrated customers. read more

It's Laudree, shall I say more. Definitely not disappointed, but wish there was a bigger selection. I have been to many Laudrees around the world, and everything is pretty consistent and pretty much the same. My personal favorites are the rose flavored and the orange blossom macaroons. Wish they had a matcha flavored one... I expected the price for this location to be higher then others since it's located inside the Versailles castle, but I think the prices are the same. read more

This is a small shop inside of the Versaiiles Castle. It was not crowded at all when I went in winter and I was served very quickly. They had the special flavor for the year, sichuan, and they had all the lovely packaging you come to expect of Laduree. read more

no lines! w00t! K3 picking up a box of their signature macaroons and then enjoying it in the gardens of versailles~^^ something about the combination of the sweet macaroons and the beautiful surroundings make this one that much more enjoyable perhaps it's the lack of lines for the same yummy happiness~ read more

Best macarons in town. Naturally.

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. My daughter had been talking about getting macaroons since the day I booked our trip to Paris. So when we ran into Ladurée the at the Château I couldn't put her off any longer. After get got our bag we walked out into the courtyard and started to enjoy them...well at least the incredible packaging. I am giving two starts. One for the mademoiselle that helped us at the counter (extremely nice) and one for packaging. Also the atmosphere was pretty incredible but that point goes to the Château. Past that the rest of the experience was quite disappointing. read more

I'm surprised they had a Laduree at the Versaille. The staff here were a little more nitpicky about looking and seeing things, I don't blame them though- there's probably many guests that come through the palace and the shop and end up touching and breaking things. A little small, but they seem to be able to cramp everything into the small space... read more

Visited the store this afternoon after my Versailles Palace visit and the employee refused to sell me macaroons claiming the store is closed. I looked at my phone, the time was 5:50...and the store is supposed to closes at 6. I showed her the time on my phone and she said my time was wrong. I told her to look at her phone and she told me the store closes at 5:45 when clearly she was just being lazy and didn't want to make another sale. read more
