We stopped in after lunch and they were in the back, making treats. The shop has all kinds of things. It's small but packed. The flagship macarons are sold in multiples- baked right onto the paper square so you can divide the sheet easily for sharing. They also have large size ones. The cookies are tasty. Service was prompt. It's a tourist thing to do, so I'm glad we did it.

We grabbed a plastic bag and went around filling it with white, milk, and dark chocolates wth pralines, nuts, fruits, and caramel. We meant to take it home with us but it didn't last too long as we went through half of it on the bus ride back to port. OOPS! We did manage to get a medium sized jar of salted caramel which we haven't tried but I assume it's going to be awesome. I got a handful of chocolate covered raisins and they blew Raisinets out of the water! Friendly service and she spoke some English. Merci Beaucoup!!! Great find in Bordeaux.

Known predominantly for their chocolates, the house established in several French cities fabricating everything it sells on site, Georges Larnicol shines as a gleaming jewelry box next to the Grand Hotel de Bordeaux and with caramels, truffles, and confections in any number of shapes and sizes the phrase "kid in a candy store" barely summarizes the look on faces of those passing by, let alone those choosing to stop in. Well stocked with servers friendly and fluent in languages ranging at least English, French, Spanish, and Japanese selections at Maison Larnicol run the gamut from baked goods to bon-bons, most items paid in weight and although not inexpensive, price appropriate to ingredients and execution. Suggested to be rewarmed, the instructions on the box easily followed thanks to my host from Airbnb, the tour of Georges Larnicol began with his signature Kouignettes, a one-of-each flavor sampling showing a substantial amount of butter as well as sweetness ooze forth with each bite, the original and pistachio truly outstandng while the fruited versions trended a bit soggy, tasty but lacking a crisp top, Generally not taken by chocolates, though the espresso and salted caramels as well as the candy shellacked eggs were memorable bites, the cookies at Larnicol are of the crisp variety and electing for a stack of "Torchette Nature" the flavor of raisins and hazelnuts were extremely prominent, as too was the amount of sugar in each bite. Tempted by Gateau Breton and Macarons in varying hues, it was eventually in an item noted simply as "Duos" that the €26.45 order would end, and featuring layers of Kouign Amann atop a custard layer of the soft cake from Brittany a "best of both worlds" experience was presented, the tray easily big enough to serve a small family...or one happy traveler slowly picking at it throughout the day.
