From some of the recommendations online, a lot of people recommended going to one of the stores in the chain for Cyril Lignac. This one that I went to was on the smaller side, but it still had a pretty good selection of pastries and desserts. I ended up trying the tarte au citron / lemon tart, which I really liked the aesthetic and design of. The taste of lemon was really fresh, but it wasn't too tart so the balance of sweet/sour was good here. It overall was really tasty, so I think that their other desserts/pastries would be great too. Would recommend checking this out to see what the hype is about!

I…read moreordered the kouign-amann, le noisette (chocolate hazelnut), tarte au citron (lemon tart), and a bag of madeleines to take home for the family. First off, everything ordered was amazinggggg! + kouign-amann: similar to a croissant but a little buttery, and covered with a caramelized outer crust. + le noisette (chocolate hazelnut): Amazing milk chocolate with wafer crisps and hazelnut - amazing!! Tastes almost like the Ferrero Rocher chocolate, except in a pastry form. + tarte au citron (lemon tart): I thought it was going to be super tart like the ones I've had in the states. But no, it had that perfect amount of tart that doesn't force my eyes squint. So I can actually enjoy it. Lol. + take home Madeleines: still tasted fresh and buttery after my long travel back home. I highly recommend this place.

The only thing I don't recommend is their pre made panini sandwich. I thought it was egg salad, but it was some type yellow chicken mayo dressed sandwich with unknown yellow flavor. I'd highly recommend a trip to this delightful bakery for baked goods!

My first memories of Fauchon weren't of the shop with all the lovely pastries, but of the insane…read moregift baskets my dad would receive from either his employer or colleagues around the holidays in the 90s. I wanted nothing to do with the jars of foie gras or champagne, but I used one of the trunks to store craft supplies. 25+ years later and it still stores craft supplies. So, of course on my last trip back to Paris I had to finally stop back in as an adult who can appreciate things that little kid me would have just said "oh, neat" about. Spoiler alert: I still don't want anything to do with foie gras or champagne. This visit coincided with a belated birthday adventure after having a mini meltdown about getting old and missing home. Fauchon is the quintessential picture of Parisian chic. The store is elegantly simple, with clean lines and bold color. The cases have a huge variety of pastries and indulgent treats. And what they have to offer is so beautiful and so meticulous that you start to wonder how the tart or éclair that caught your eye isn't unaffordable. Yes, it's pricy for pastries in France when you consider Carrefour sells éclairs for like one Euro (and that cheap ass éclair is somehow better than 99% of éclairs in the US). When you compare it to the "gourmet" pastry scene in the US the prices aren't insane though. Would I make this my regular stop for pastries? No, but for special occasions or if you're visiting and want a beautiful experience this is absolutely worth the small indulgence. We selected an éclair with some bold graphics printed on it, two different macarons, a lemon tart (tarte aux citron), a chocolate moussey cakey piece of art, a slice of pâté en croûte, and some hot teas. Because of the artistic elements it was a less traditional texture for the éclair but the flavor was delicate and pleasant. The macarons were perfect, which I'm sure they always will be, and it's probably one of the reasons they do well as an edible souvenir. P.S. Americans, do NOT call them macaroons, those are completely different. The tart was the right amount of sour and sweet with great texture. I opted out of the chocolate and the pâté but included them in the photos so you can be jealous. The commentary on those can be summarized with, "OMG amazing." Oh, Paris, tu me manques. Je dois retourner tout de suite!

The store is gorgeous and will immediately catch your eye, I knew I had to come see what was going on in here. I crossed over and walked in to find the most delightful le merveilleux. I ordered 3 minis which I trekked all over town for the day and later enjoyed for in the evening. They were delish! My advice would be don't trek all over town with them, enjoy them or store them to enjoy later. They were great but they are fairly delicate. These treats are super light and the perfect little treats. The mini size is perfect to enjoy several flavors. I'm a Los Angeles native and while many may say they haven't seen or heard of these le merveilleux before, we have a little French bakery at home called Le Mervetty that I've ordered cakes from and they make these. They are truly special, I've always felt that. If you're looking for a lovely treat, definitely stop in. Service was quick and friendly!

I got the sampler of 6 merengues in a cute box but I only got to try 3 as I shared the rest with our house host. My fave was the Magnifique - meringue coated in pralines. So light and airy as with the rest. The Merveilleux - chocolate was a bit too sweet for my taste what with the layers n layers of chocolate. I am not a fan of white chocolate so I did not like the Incroyable - white chocolate with speculoos. The shop have different branches in Paris as well as the train stations but we went to the one by the Moulin Rouge. It is right smack in the center of the street you wouldn't miss it with its very opulent chandelier hanging by the window. They make and bake their pastries on site as with each and every patisserie in Paris it seems. So everything is freshly baked!

There were so many sweets on display, I felt the decision paralysis really hit me. I probably gawked at the sweets for twenty minutes, unable to make a decision on what to buy. The employee manning the store was so patient with me and gracefully answered my unending questions. We ended up getting the lemon cake with caramel. He put in a great helping into the to-go box, pondered at it, then told me the slice was too small and proceeded to somehow stuff a second slice into the box. He crammed it in there like New Yorkers cram themselves into subways during rush hour! We paid 3.9 euros for essentially two slices of lemon cake. One bite in, and I could taste how moist the cake was! Although quite tart, it was also almost too sweet for me! My fiancé did find the sweetness level to be perfect for him! We couldn't finish it over the night, so when we ate it the next day, it still tasted as wonderful as it did the first night. Karamel is highly raved for a reason! Give this place a shot if you're ever in Paris!
