After spending some time at l'arc de triomphe, it's time to roam the Champ Elysees and check out the stores and hopefully some 'makan' place.
Louis Vuitton, house of leather and luxury bags
Champ Elysees, quite crowded always.
Throng of people walking, people seeing at Champ Elysees
The traffic is heavy as usual, taken middle of the road, a bit scary.
Mercedes Benz as taxi, luxury car.
Speaking of luxury car, for €89, you can have this for a ride. Not sure for how long.
Missus offered but I decline, who wants to drive a Lambo in a traffic jam ?
Right in a corner, noticed Laduree.
Laduree, founded in 1862 and undergone transformation on 1871 by Jules Cheret, a famous painter and poster artist and became the high end tea salon. Strictly no photography inside the building, I couldn't resist and snap a few. Pardon the photographs as these were taken without me focusing and looking at the viewfinder.
It took more than half an hour to reach at the end of the line.
These are the boxes for you to put the delicate and delicious Laduree items.
Google translate gave me 'Square tasting' and 'Milk, black or mix', no idea with it is.
All the different types of boxes.
Random snaps, bad focus.
There are pastries at the rack and servers packing the pastries up, exquisite painting and decor.
Laduree paper bag.
A small box with 6 exquisite macarons
Boxes for macarons, marshmallows and raspberry tart.
A choice of 6 different macarons in the Napoleon III boxes, if I remember correctly from left : Chocolate, Coffee, Pistachio, Violet, Passion Fruit, Chocolate Pure Origin Santo Domingo.
The Laduree macarons are exquisite, the crust is not hard when you bite it, it is not too sweet either. Then, you will taste the soft and spongy inner crust. The most important is the filling, the sharp taste and aroma of the flavour melts in your mouth. The macarons have no after taste, quite surprisingly, not even a tinge of icing sugar. To me, this is the most exquisite texture and taste of macarons so far, the best !!
Tarte Passion Framboise (Passion Raspberry Tart)
Adjourned for the night after a long travel, more walking for the next day ...
