At Maison Georges Larnicol you can get the tastiest budget-proof macarons in Paris
When people think of macarons, they often immediately think of Ladurée. These are great, but luckily for us there are other macaron makers in Paris who charge less money for their delicious macarons ;) May I introduce you to: Maison Georges Larnicol!
Let's look back. During his childhood, young Georges Larnicol grows up in a world of sweets. His father was a pastry chef and his mother had a stall selling sweets prepared in the workshop. Learned young, done old because in 1985, at the age of 30, Georges opened his first pastry-tea room. It wasn't long before his delicacies reached the gates of Paris and the House of Georges Larnicol was established.
Fortunately for us, we have been reaping the benefits of this for quite some time. For €7,00 you can have a container with 7 (self-composed) macarons! You can also buy the macarons per 16 pieces (€16,00) or per 25 pieces (€25,00). The lady or gentleman in the store will put the macarons in the box for you. Good to mention: the macarons are without butter, cream, cow's milk, gluten and gelatin! Some delicious flavors include bergamot, passion fruit, coffee, pistachio, lemon, rose, raspberry, caramel sea salt, coconut, almond, chocolate and vanilla. Do you want to know for sure what the macarons taste like? No problem, you can taste the macarons for €0,90 each. After purchase you can store the macarons for 15 days (if refrigerated!).
And the best news of all: this chocolatier has no fewer than 4 branches throughout Paris! There's a good chance there's one near you:
14 Rue de Rivoli, 75004 Paris
19 Rue de la Harpe, 75005 Paris
