We Tried the Best Macarons Paris has to Offer (Found The Best)

[@damienfenton3880]

I'm currently on a trip to Paris and a lot of my dining choices are based on your videos. I mentioned your channel's recommendation in one of those places and they said you guys are as nice off-camera as you are when filming :)

[@carolramosc]

I love how you always bring different options, not only mainstream stuff. You always bring some exotic, some traditional, some known, some unkown, some modern, it's great work! :)

[@elenamalimenkova1493]

Gem’s spot with Asian touch macarons is the best! So unique and full of flavor! They serve tea and coffee too! Perfect spot in the heart of Paris!

Love that you both don't shy away from giving us the honest review: Not Laduree, not Pierre Hermes, but Richard - Simply added them to my to visit list when in Paris this April.... Can't wait!!! Ales Owniva!

The video I was looking for!!! 💖💖💖💖 Thank you!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow gem la patisserie Paris congratulations. Philippines exotic macaron flavor.👍❤️👌

[@ysbel]

When I lived in France, I only saw macarons when a guest brought a fancy box of them as a gift at a dinner party. It was an appreciated gift and being a gift, it was totally appropriate that the packaging would be nice.

[@fionasefara2703]

Thank you for recommending Gem’s. Watched this video all the way from South Africa months ago and today my daughter and I visited the place based on you recommendation. Amazing macaroons, bursting with flavour. Love your channel❤.

I think the address of Gem Patisserie on the screen may not be correct? You mention Opera but screen shows Trocadero. Google map shows 1 Rue de Mariveaux.

[@terryrogers-kulick9499]

Great video Guys!

[@jetrocket3140]

Can confirm, the Gem Pastries near the opera (about a 5 min walk) are fantastic with a nice twist. Briefly spoke with the lady who runs the shop and since this video she's focused completely on Macarons, the demand has been high! If you don't know where to find it, you're unlikely to stumble upon it though, but Google maps or equivalent will lead you straight to it.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

She is delightful, and her macarons are amazing (quality and flavors)

[@halliebass]

Looks like a fun day!

[@beachbumis]

Thank you for sharing. I just added a bunch of your videos to my watch list because your content in this video was fantastic! We are planning a trip to Paris in 2023.

[@Maimitti]

Wouah ! a Tour of Macarons' Parisian shops ! - well done - some I ddin"t know at all . (a shame when being like me a true Parisian, but exiled in Bretagne nowadays) sure I will try YOUR tour when next in Paris visiting my brother in Vincennes !

[@heatherbdmv]

I did the Macaron Walking Tour on one of my trips to Paris. Went to many of the places you tried. I found Ladureé to be overrated. My personal fav was Maison Mulot in the 6th. I go back every time I’m in Paris and we get pastries and go sit by the Seine at sunset. Nothing better than that!! 🥐 🍰

[@annakozoriz]

I went to “Pierre Herme” in St Germain…. Had woooonderful pistachio desert…. It was sooo good!

[@pamelawooden6012]

is there any prepackaged macarons that you would recommend? not sure if we will make it to these shops...maybe the one in Mortmarte...

[@katrinaassoumou6400]

They all looked good. Thank you for testing these items before I get there next year. Have a blessed day. Amen

[@cheric4739]

We just returned from Paris and we found your videos so helpful! I visited Pralis 3 times in 6 days 🤫 I found the women extremely pleasant, you must have caught her on a bad day. I returned to buy gifts for friends and she gave me a cute bag of chocolates. We LOVED Paris and plan to download the information you’ve put together before our next trip. 😊

[@elsaacevedo7053]

Every week I’m excited to see a new video, and see you guys. Add all the place in my google maps for a future trip to Paris. From your list a have only tried Pierre Herme and Laduree. And from Laduree a love Marie Antoinette macarons.

[@glorygirlpunkrockkid7893]

Hello, we will be visiting Paris again in March. Can you recommend the best place to go for vegan macarons?

Richart is the best. They have amazing chocolate too.

[@leiarichardson65]

I knew Richart would be no.1...I hear a lot of good reviews about there...Will try when I go bacl

[@jeanwhite2705]

Hello today, so happy with today’s video. On our visit to Paris, we tried macaroons as part of our picnic lunch at Effie Tower. I don’t remember the bakery but I chose a rose flavour macaron and it was heavenly. Perfectly to my taste and it was So fresh. Just a wonderful memory. Can’t wait to enjoy fresh macarons once more when we return.☺️🇨🇦

Food + service review, new for me. 👍.

We’re coming to Paris at the beginning of 2023 and we will hit some of your hot spots. My husband and I just love your videos and your energy. We have your travel guide which will be very helpful. We are planning on booking a tour with the tour company you recommended, thank you.

[@JD987abc]

Bonjour les Frenchies. I simply adore you station and the two of you. Would you consider doing a review of Paris “hardware stores” ? I find les Drogueries very interesting where you can buy all sorts of things at great prices. Comes in handy should one tun out or need a neat gift One of my favorites is on Rue Mufftard called Droguerie Bricolage Very friendly with everything you might need during your visit. Merci…Josef.

[@dynamics9000]

[@SuDoFoodDiaries]

Oh I love macarons and thanks for giving us a tour on all these macaron places. I definitely would want to visit Roy Chocolatier for the sample chocolates! And Gem for the exotic flavors. Have you also tried Le Jardin Sucré in the 17th arrondissement? I really liked their rich flavors. I wonder where it will rank in your list.

[@miscellanyman263]

OMG, you guys... avec une grande envie!

To go back to Paris just to sample these pastries and macarons would be stress free and fun. Saving your videos for that day :)

[@linakaspers3940]

was in Paris 2 weeks ago, but sad to see some of the places reommended by you were already gone. But your videos are very helpful.

[@pamelawing5747]

I got almost all of mine at Lauduree, starting in London, going on to Paris and then at Versailles. I got some at Harrods and they were HORRIBLE!!!!! Do NOT waste your pounds there. So they are SOOOOOO sweet, and I have to say I have not missed them. I really had my fill. LOL If you have not ever had one, do yourself a favor, be sure to get some when in France. Like anything else, somes better than others but don't miss them.

[@duanefitzhugh4093]

It’s blue because that’s the traditional color for French royalty.

[@johnhaxby306]

I got a room at Hotel Odeone (your suggestion) and 3 of these places (Laduree, Richart and Pierre Herme) are by the hotel next to Saint-Sulspice so I will wander on over to Rue Bonaparte and gain a few pounds

[@avayu2289]

The best Macaron that I have ever tasted is Matcha at the Susuya Patisserie in Las Vegas., NV And best gelato is dark chocolate 70% plus or Matcha at Baccio di Latte in Newport Beach, CA. I will make sure to try out your top 3 next time when I am in Paris. I find Laduree to be overrrated, the only good part is their locations’ signature decor. Thank you both again for such detailed and personable reviews. ❤️

[@jacquelinejoullie713]

Suggesting : le jardin sucré, rue de Courcelles

[@Michael_Sheldon]

Rough doing the research on this one. Thank you for your sacrifice! 😜

[@suzanphipps9246]

Your videos are the absolute best and most helpful when planning our trip. I would have gotten sick though eating all those macarons in one day.

[@maobfh]

It’s amazing how such a question could garner a comment and a question but you two are very good with your videos. Thank you for asking the question and taking the time to film and discuss who you think HAS the best macaron in Paris. The more unusual flavors sounded fantastic! I am glad you tried some of them. My question relates to Richart and I was impressed with the look of the store. Do they sell much OTHER THAN macarons? If they sell only macarons, was there redundancy on each display? It looked wonderful but it was very large for just macarons. They get two SOLID thumbs up from me, regardless of their win. They looked very nice in the display!

[@Lana-pk5go]

The best macaron I've had in Paris is Angelina's raspberry macaron. It was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend trying it, along with their Mont Blanc.

[@beaauuuparis1233]

You forgot to taste the macarons from Pierre Marcolini and the one from La Grande Épicerie de Paris, would have love to know your thoughts on those ones ;)

[@annaleebeverley2763]

Based on this video I tried Richard. I took a box of 9 macarons to a friend’s for dessert. I took three Richard out of the gift box and replaced those with Pierre Hermès macaron.. Doing a blind taste test..Pierre Hermès macaron won hands down..the quality Is so much higher. That was my opinion and friend’s opinion. Also when buying both I found the flavours more interesting at Pierre Hermès. We all have different tastes and I prefer less sweet which Hermès are and bursting with flavour. I have not tried the Gem or other top ones on your list yet.

[@kirstinsnow9944]

Question: is it worth it to take macaron back home for friends (USA), or does the quality suffer in transit? Binging your vids, will be there in Oct w/my 79 yr old papa, and want to share the treats with my mother, back home. My itinerary is filled with your suggestions. Can't thank you enough!

[@martyparizeau3327]

Hi Les Frenchies, Nous sommes présentement à Paris 😊 Nous avons visité Richart durant notre première journée, notre verdict est 🥇🥇🥇Nous avons choisi plusieurs saveur, parcontre myrtille, mangue, framboise et caramel salee ont faient la liste de nos favoris.

From an old French man: this kind of macaron sandwich was virtually unknown 30 years ago. It seems to me that it was and still is mostly a French stereotype for tourists that French people regularly eat macarons!

We bought a six pack at Laduree and we were almost underwhelmed! Our (then) local patisserie at Alesia seemed to be nicer ones. We have a local patissier here in Adelaide who has awards from France for his work, and his macarons are really good. Don't have to travel to Paris to get good ones, but I think it helps to at least try!🤣

Bonjour, and merci for this well timed video! Do you know if it’s possible to bring macarons out of France on a plane, or is that not recommended due to customs rules and freshness concerns?
