    I heard this was the best bakery in Fontainebleau so we came by and bought practically one of every…read moreitem they had. It was way too much but we wanted to sample everything. Here are some favorites and things we would and would not get again. Good: pistachio eclair, raspberry cream puff (light and very good!!!), mini puffs, Le snickers (great for dark chocolate and nut lovers), beauharnais (dark chocolate on a vanilla wafer, told that this is one of the most popular items) Ok: cream brûlée, Belgian waffle, macaroons, brownie with hazelnuts, originae baguette Pass: napoleon (too sweet); meringue cake; They also sell macaroons. They are cheaper than most places (0.90 euros each) but it is not as good as Pierre Herme or Laudree because the shell/texture is more chewy. However, they are definitely not bad and you get two for the price of one. We tried all of the flavors and the strawberry was pretty good. I usually love pistachio but I didn't care for their pistachio macaroon. It is located in a small side street and the hours vary (closed Monday, afternoons, and Sunday evening). The shop runs out of stuff if you go later in the day. I heard they might have sandwiches during lunch time.

This was one of the best bakeries we stopped by in ALL of France! And it was so inexpensive too! Like questionably so. There was indeed a line out the door even later in the afternoon, but it was well worth wait. If you're looking for your choice of baked goods however, come early! They were sold out or selling out of things when we were there. We had no issue finding something we all loved though! We couldn't wait to dig in so we just popped a squat a few feet down in an alley and ate our faces off! The shop is small and takeout only. The kind women behind the counter spoke no English at all, but a little pointing got us a long way. The shop is located on the cutest of stone streets! It's passengers only and lined with flower boxes and parked bikes with baskets. A stop here a perfect quintessential French experience....it's exactly what you imagine buying pastries in France would be like. We parked in an underground lot just down the block and paid by the hour. This went hand in hand with our visit to Chateau Fountainbleu located a few minutes away . If you're in the area, don't you dare miss this place!!

    Pierre Hermé If you…read moreknow Pierre Hermé from social media and all the viral videos, then this review needs no introduction. But if you haven't, this is a strong contender for worthy macarons in Paris and at a convenient location across the street from Ladurée. Located inside L'Occitane in the most gorgeous floor space ever, you will find Pierre Hermé at the center of it all. They have an impressive array of flavors that were much more unique than other patisseries. I definitely asked for a few recommendations as well since I tend to order the same thing (pistachio, raspberry, lemon, etc.) The workers were very kind. They indulged my request to converse in French and corrected me in a respectful and endearing way (I know some people get upset at this idea but I personally prefer it.) I had ordered a dozen macarons but truthfully would've ordered the entire lot if I wasn't alone and especially if I wasn't already taking a ton of sweets back for my flight home. I am a Ladurée purist and what I can say is that Pierre Hermé definitely had the best and most unique flavors compared to the two. The prices are fairly comparable and the coffrets are just as tasteful. Both are strong contenders and worthy of your money. I certainly will be returning and look forward to trying the rest of their selection. (15/50--2025)

    Okay okay...I know Pierre Hermé is a super touristy macaron shop, and the Pierre Hermé on Champs…read moreElysée is probably the MOST touristy you can get, but I can't help but give this place five stars. Pierre Hermé is home to some of the best macarons I've had in my life -- which is probably too many for the good of my health -- and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the macarons, the staff's attention to detail, and all the unique flavors this shop had to offer. As a popular macaron shop in one of the hottest tourist destinations in Paris, this location is undeniably crowded. There's usually a huge line circling around a central display of macaron after macaron. The line looks pretty intimidating, but it moves quite quickly, and there are so many flavors that it'll probably be helpful to have a bit of extra time to review the menu. My friend and I split a pack of four macarons, including their seasonal isapahan (rose, lychee, raspberry), infiniment praliné pistache, and a jardin de cassandre (red currant, rhubarb). The macarons were delightful. I loved the two seasonal items; they were delightfully fruity and slightly floral, and I loved the slightly tangy flavor from the raspberry in the isapahan and rhubarb / currants in the jardin de cassandre. The praliné pistache was nice and nutty, and the inner cream offered a great additional richness. It's usually super crowded so seating tends to be quite limited. My friend and I ended up taking our macarons to go and enjoyed them elsewhere as we toured Champs Elysée.
