Laurence and Michel of Le Jacquard Francais indulged me with a visit to Laduree in St. Germaine, one of the most famous Tea Rooms and Patisseries in Paris. It is typically French and charmingly classy fascade is so beautiful, that I stand across the street just to absorb all the wonderful details.
The window displays are always unique and inspiring, always including some of the signature Laduree Boxes in pastel colors, delectable macarons, and irresitible pastries.

Laduree is famous for their macarons, offered in some of the same colors as the packaging . Soft pastel colors of crisp meringue, crisp on the outside, with flavorful fillings on the inside. My favorite is the pistache, a pale green with the most divine pistachio flavor, but I always have to try several flavors in the petite size. I can never decide whether or not I love the beautiful box, or the delicious treats inside the most. I never miss a visit to Laduree when I am in Paris.
