Bear is the first one to show up at Pierre Herme Opera!
Personne/nobody...
10:00am the key is in the lock...Ta-Da!
Bear bones up on Pierre Herme macaron flavors.
What to choose?
Caramel..passion fruit...carrote/orange/canelle...infiniment chocolat...peche/abricot/safron...Americano pamplemousse...infiniment jasmin...figue + foie gras...vinaigre+balsamique...MON DIEU!
A twirling macaron tree entices. Outside a sign for the new movie on Marie Antoinette, Les Adieu A La Reine opens today (a must-see)
You give a donation to Autistes sans frontieres and...
You get a macaron/Un don, Un macaron.
Let the trick or treating macarons begin. We're off and running. Next to Galeries Lafayette sous sol Pierre Herme for another macaron.
*New Alert! Angelina has opened a branch on premiere etage at Galeries Lafayette! woo woo
Pierre Herme/Galeries Lafayette premiere etage is not so crazy-busy as Bear was expecting based on last year. But it's Tuesday, not Dimanche, so Parisians are working or l'ecole. Dommage..
Clever Jill suggests we take the walkway through to Galeries Lafayette Gourmand for more macaron hunting.
At Sadaharu Aoki counter we get another mac each. I fall victim to a silly pink macaron keychain. Jill already has hundreds of these so does not succumb.
Nearby at the Jean-Paul Hevin stand they are giving away THREE MACARONS for one donation! woo woo
I suggest we hop on #8 Metro to Ecole Militaire to J-P Hevin's La Motte Picquet shop. We're greedy.
Back on Metro Ligne #1 to Concord to J-P Hevin's 231 St. Honore shop.
Doodly-doodly-do.
Bear is happy as a clam.
We race on to nearby Pierre Herme 4,rue Cambon for another. Jill has to go home. Her real life is calling. I carry on trick or treating.
Off to Pierre Herme 72, rue Bonaparte for a Mogador macaron MIAM! Bear and I made a few more hits on the macaron route till exhaustion did us in. BTW we did not eat a single macaron. Good things come to those who wait.
The Pierre Herme map.
Total haul macarons=approx. 18 I think.
I ate a few at gouter/4:30 yesterday.
Bear's delicious Jour du Marcaron 2012 haul.
Writing this post caused me to eat macarons. The poster on the wall was a gift-with-purchase edition limité des Macarons Pierre Herme Paris I couldn't resist. I plan to redecorate at home to co-ordinate with the new macaron poster.
