OMG those were THE BEST macarons ever! EVER! yeah, bold, capitalized AND italicized. That good. This Pierre Hermé store might have been one of their smaller magasins because it didn't seem like they had that many flavors, but their macarons were so soft and so light and so amazing.
So after school today I decided to spend the afternoon in Paris under the advice of my cousin who insisted "get sick of Paris while I still can". After some failed (well, perhaps not failed) attempt at shopping where I left empty handed, I decided to continue on my macaron tour of Paris. A friend of mine, who doesn't seem to appreciate macarons as much as I do, insists that I should stray from this macaron tour and do a more general patisserie tour. Honestly, I have no complaints with that. Tartelette aux framboise (raspberry mini tarts) are also a patisserie favorite of mines. Along with tartelette aux pommes and framboisiers. Deeelish! But this post isn't about other pastries.
So into Pierre Hermé I go. And what a cute little chic shop it was! Their entire display case was filled with pastries of all kinds but I just ran off with four macarons (of 1.60 euros each.. eek). Two rose flavored macarons, one cassis (currants) and one jasmin tea. The jasmin one was pretty good, doesn't quite top the tea one from Dalloyao though. The cassis had actual fruit pieces in it so that was quite a treat. And the rose ones... man... to...die...for.... well.. maybe not literally, but it seriously tasted like heaven in your mouth.
To top off this trip to Paris, a beautiful day at my favorite park of Paris, le Jardin du Luxembourg. :) Ah yes, spring in France...
And, I would love to have any one of those apartments overlooking the park. *sigh* one day...
edit: In the movie, Love Me If You Dare, little Sophie askes Julien what he wants to be when he grows up and he says a tyrant. She answers saying that she wants to be a cream puff. I would rather be a macaron. A rose flavored Pierre Hermé macaron. ^_~
