LADURÉE

I am still indulging in the little Paris trip we did last week. Now I want to talk about the forever famous and forever busy LADURÉE. With only a few outlets, Ladurée is always busy and always with a long Parisian line at the patisserie counter.

Rue St Honoré
This is one of the outlet at the cross junction of rue St Honoré and rue Royale
The window display with tempting tartlets, macarons and other items of LADURÉE
We arrived at the Rue Royal outlet rather late, almost 6pm but they still serving tea in the establishment.


The interior of Ladurée, classical French design and rather warm in the afternoon


The menu card in pastel pink color, it didn't take long for me to decide what I want...



and then waiting patiently and full of anticipation for them to arrive....


Johannes ordered this of which we don't know the name, it is kind of made by the waffle of macaron but I find it a little too sweet.

The tart is garnished with raspberries, strawberries and intertwined with pistachio nut. Frankly speaking the tartlets would have taste even fresher if it is earlier in the day, there is a slight of tiredness and age in macaron pastry as has been exposed to the air for just a little too long, nonetheless, they are still good...


My La Divin

La Divin - taste really yummy, soft texture, creamy and full of the aroma of raspberries, not too sweet at all

The patisserie taste best with my cup of tea. Tea is served again in the French silverware and a large sign of 'L' thoughtfully design to protect one from the heat of the hot teapot handle.

This is another outlet of Ladurée inside Printemps, we didn't go into this one as it is too early for tea when we were at the Opéra area avoiding the rain. I bought the Ladurée macaron though from the outlet at Printemps and then carrying them around in this little pastel green paper bag and walk around Paris with it...

Even while we were catching a bit of fresh air after the humid rain fall at the green field between Jardin du Tuileries and the Luvre museum. The green LADURÉE bag sits stylishly on the field and complementing the Luvre annex building in perfect harmony...
For now, I hope you enjoy the journey with me...
