If you have a sweet tooth, this place will make it fall off…read more Found a cute little sweet shop in the medieval town of St Paul de Vence in the south of France. There are a bunch of delicious looking candies and cookies that are enticing even to me, who doesn't have a sweet tooth. Everything is beautifully displayed and plastic gloves are available for the customers to handle the merchandise. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Everything you buy is put into beautiful tin boxes or cans. All of this come at a price; things in this little shop are not cheap.

Only try the sample if you have $ as you won't be able to resist filling up a little bag to take…read morehome with you. My personal favorite was their lemon cookie. It reminded me of a shortbread cookie with superb lemon flavoring. I wanted to share it with my sisters but I didn't because I couldn't part from it. I also enjoyed their small biscuits filled with caramel. I tried their other location in Nice but they weren't as fresh as the ones here.

Giving props to Pierre Herme as they make the best macarons that I have ever tried. Sadly, this…read morelocation at Galeries Lafayette has closed. A victim of the pandemic. Fortunately, Pierre Herme still sells their macarons at Nice Airport. Though I am skeptical about buying macarons at the airport, after buying a bad batch of macarons (not from Pierre Herme) once before a flight. Not sure if it was because I bought them later in the day or because flying does something to the quality. I would recommend eating them sooner than later, in any case.

I needed to add this review because google maps doesn't recognize that this place exists!! Only…read morefound this through one lone trusty yelp review but YES this is located in the mall of Galeries Lafayette near the entrance and close to longchamp. Similar to my previous review of its Paris counterparts definitely try these: +orange blossom - has that slight flowery scent and filled with some citrusy light cream ++jasmine - omg. If you like jasmine tea this is delicious and tastes like they captured jasmine into this delicious shimmery macaron ++hazelnut praline - it tastes like NUTELLA so good ++rose and rose litchi (lychee)- it tastes like I'm actually eating a soft crumbly melt in your mouth flower, deliciouS

Yelp Review 2026 #206:…read more Maison Auer is a historic place located across from Nice Opera House. It opened its doors in 1820 and is Nice's oldest confiserie. It's a fifth-generation family business which started with Henri Auer who was Swiss. So, he knows a thing or two about making good chocolate. The shop is beautiful. Florentine-style interior with stained glass, chandeliers, big wooden cabinets with marble on top. Here you can get fruit jellies, chocolates, macarons, caramels, candied nuts, fruit pates, marshmallows, and ice cream. I got myself some chocolates. Their card machine is slow so, be patient.

The staff are very friendly and clearly passionate about their craft, which adds so much to the visit. The chocolates are outstanding, rich, fragrant, and beautifully made. Their candied fruits are amazing as well, and there are plenty of samples so you can try different things before choosing. Everything feels traditional, thoughtful, and very French in the best way. It's the perfect spot to experience classic sweets in a gorgeous setting. A must-visit if you're exploring Old Nice or want to bring home something special.

Forget about Pierre Hermé in Paris - that stuff is not worth the hype and price. Walking into Lacroix is like walking back in time - you can smell all the tradition this place has held. Cherry on the cake is that Lacroix himself hand selected our chocolate!!! So sweet. We are coming back for more before our departure. Must try!!!
