What better way could I find to help alleviate their sadness at leaving Paris than to visit the Laduree Parisian tearoom in Harrods?<br />After having followed Paris Breakfasts for many months, I was dying to try the Laduree macarons. In Paris the young ladies loved the macarons glace and those in Harrods were perfect as well. What a beautiful tearoom it is with the serving done by very elegant gentlemen.

Shh. Well, I've got macaron withdrawal symptoms and there are none here in Thailand so far ;-) Love your photos and beautiful watercolours as ever. Macaron terrorist? Love it! As for that link at the end, OMG what a surprise. Perhaps nobody understands it, as we're all speaking with such strong Scottish accents. <br />Hugs from holiday,<br />Jill xoJill@MadAboutMacaronshttp://MadAboutMacarons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-42346407251679068162011-08-05T20:17:45.138-04:002011-08-05T20:17:45.138-04:00Beautiful post.

[The place where we teach is "Saint-Antoine l'Abbaye" - somebody should teach watercolour here: The accommodation is economical, and the garden is fabulous; the village is "Le Deuxième Reliquaire de la France" - highly paintable. Our problem is that we have to pay for/charge for the classroom - but plein-aire painting would be a dream here.

Sadly (from a visual viewpoint) they were all shades of beige/brown: Coffee/ganache, Caramel, Coconut, Tiramisu, Venezuela/ganache, and something called "Speculos" which I haven't figured out yet. <br />Leclerc is reliable. They were divine. I'd never even have tried but for you!<br />(Did you PAINT WITH the aquarelle écolier in the photo?)<br />Thank-you!

It could be your signature image, really.<br /><br />I ate one rose macaron last time I was in Paris. I know they're made with almond flour. I know I'm allergic to nuts. But I was feeling invincible. Until I started itching and coughing and my tongue started tingling. But it was worth hacking all the way down the Champs Elysees just for that crunch, that give, that sugar explosion, that flavor. <br /><br />Chocolate-covered peanuts and macarons would be what I would eat if I only had one hour left to live.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073968486721141173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-82007809003561764582011-08-03T14:39:15.134-04:002011-08-03T14:39:15.134-04:00I have only one macaron memory.

A friend shared with me his assorted Laduree dozen, freshly flown in from Paris by folks for whom he'd been house sitting, because he knew that I would appreciate them thoroughly. And he let me keep the box, which I still have. They really were all that, including the packaging.
