    Wonderful shop inside the Louvre. After we finished up at the Louvre we wondered in the main floor where all the shops were. I was looking for chocolates to bring home for friends so Maxim's caught my eye. The sales associate gave out samples of their mini dark chocolate crepes which we loved. They're sort of like delicate thin biscuits fully covered in rich dark chocolate. We each bought boxes for friends/co-workers and kept a box for ourselves. Their chocolate goods are fair priced and they also have a huge macaroon display case. Maxim's is a gourmet shop that also carries foie gras products, teas and other delicacies. I highly recommend checking out the shop when you're in Paris. If only Maxim's and Pierre Herme would deliver to the states or open a shop up here!

    Impossible!!! Only 1 review? Something this tasty, yummy, marketed gorgeously, oh man, what's going on here. These are one of the most addictive things I've ever eaten: these flaky bite-size cute rectangular pieces, not too sweet, great texture, very chocolatey, right on your taste buds. The store offers samples of dark & milk chocolate, white too I think, but bought 6 boxes and macarons, which were just ok. Maybe I was just overwhelmed lol. Located inside the Louvre obviously in the basement level. will go back in a heart beat and totally stock up. Professional service, staff wore white gloves. a fancy chocolatier shop.

    I decided to give this place a go because I had a goal to try several bakeries in Paris on my trip to compare. I was in the Louvre and needed a sugar fix. I saw that there were multiple people going into this bakery so I thought it was the place to visit. One of the workers in the shop talked me into buying 7 of their new cream filled cakes. I also brought 3 macarons. I have to say I was a little disappointed in both the cakes and macarons. I had better macarons in a less gimmicky shop. The cakes were good but there was nothing special to make me pay 8 euros for those tiny things. The macarons did not have much favor to them to tell them apart. It was not bad but I would not spend my euros here again unless it was my last option for something sweet.

    Yummy

    I have been to Ladurée before (for the cookies), but this time? We ventured up to the tea shop…read more Heads up: if you are coming on the weekend, there will probably be a wait, but please don't let that discourage you! The tea shop on the second floor is absolutely adorable and really should be on any pastry-lover's bucket list (ditto if you are into tea houses). Calm, refined, and civilized, it embodies everything that "tea" should be. Mom ordered a pot of tea and she deemed it delicious (she is often disappointed by hot tea--it is rare that we find an establishment that makes it properly). I ordered the hot chocolate with chantilly, and it filled me with mirth. (Warning: it is a dessert unto itself. This is not the insipid cocoa that comes from powder in an envelope. Imagine a cup of chocolate truffle, and you are about right.) We both ordered the plaisir sucrée, and now I need to go back to Paris to take a pastry class. Definitely come here for a special treat tea.

It was a cozy and intimate setting and overall a great experience. Of course, the macaroons were amazing! Loved that the cappuccino came with their logo on top of the foam. And they gave us 2 scrumptious Laduree chocolate squares, which was a nice treat!

We…read morehad finished lunch but were looking for some sweets before heading back to the hotel for a breather. I noticed this place was close-by, so off we went. Fou isn't a large space, really only enough for a queue to form and the staff to stand behind the counter. Unlike a traditional pâtisserie, there is no baking done on premises here. Instead, they import bakes from other pâtisseries and pastry chefs and sell them here. They had a good selection, with each having a label that tells where it came from and/or who the pasty chef was that created it. We decided on three pastries and a slice of cake - they were running a special where if we ordered three bakes then we could get a fourth for a discount. Each of the bakes were quite good - my favorite was the lemon which had great flavor while also being intricately decorated. Overall though, all our selections were high quality. Service was fast and friendly, and overall I had a good experience at Fou de Pâtisserie. It's a great option to get Paris' "greatest hits" from all over the city.

All the gorgeous pastries have signage indicating the maker of the treat. I visited this location as well as the location within the BHV on Rue Rivoli while I was in Paris. They both offered a lovely selection of treats! The caramel brûlée pâte à choux was quite possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life - a sweet caramel cream filling and a crispy brûlée sugar top. I also tried the pistachio tart (salty, not very sweet) , the pear and almond tart (very fresh, not super sweet, and gorgeous), and the chocolate praliné tart (very rich, dark, and indulgent). Overall, this is definitely a patisserie that I will seek out on a future trip to Paris!

    What could be better than selecting a box full of chocolate ganache or pralines in a Parisian…read morechocolate shop? La Maison du Chocolat has several locations in the city. This spot at the Carrousel du Louvre is a full service shop that gives out samples and allows you to build a box rather than just grab a premade assortment from a kiosk. I say this because we walked all over on our last day (wanting to make our own boxes) so we found out where the full-service shops were. The people who work here are very patient and kind while you make your selections. And of course, it's fun to sample the decadent merchandise. I highly recommend the Maracuja (dark chocolate w/ passionfruit pulp ) or the Salvador (dark chocolate ganache w/raspberry pulp). We made the mistake of turning our kids into chocaholics so we had to pay the price and bring them both home a box. Couldn't forget one for ourselves either. Each box comes with a handy picture guide so you can identify the merchandise. Or just pop one in your mouth and be happily surprised.

    The BEST!!!!!! Oh…read moreman! I will start by saying that I don't even like macaroons in the United States. They are just dry and nasty most of the time lol But in Paris, I decided to give them a try! And I am glad I did. They tasted so good! Seriously, they were delightful little treats. The inside of the macaroons was moist and flavorful, while the outside had a nice firm texture. So good! I almost ate an entire dozen of those by myself! lol My fiancé was not super motivated to try one (probably because they suck in the US), and I kept telling him how good they are. Finally, he tried one and was shocked at how good it was too! They are not cheap. But worth it for a decent macaroon. I can't eat macaroons in the states now lol Ruined me for life. lol
