Macarons!
I've been in Paris four times before my imminent visit and never had a macaron. Actually, I didn't know about macarons any of the previous times I was in Paris. Now I plan to sample this delicacy. Any recommendations on the place to get the ultimate macaron, so I will understand what the fuss is all about?

Laduree are my favorites ( locations throughout the city and also at CDG), but a lot of people think that Pierre Herme's (rue Bonaparte) are the best. The only one I ever had in Paris that I did not like was from Le Bon Marche's food hall; surprising, given it's reputation for fine food.

On one trip to Paris we bought macarons at a Laduree. At the end of the day we were too tired to go out for dinner… ordered some simple things and wine from room service (at a hotel where Joel Robuchon oversaw the food service) and had the macarons for dessert. Heaven!

Carette, Pierre Herme, Laudree, Angelina. Those are famous and taste great! But you can wander into tons of patisseries and find them. Try one, and if you like it, get a box! Stop in to the fancy places to try one for yourself, but you can get cheaper and still very good macarons all over the city!
Also, check out the eclairs at Eclair de Genie in the Marias. They are very popular right now and look amazing. I've yet to have one, but I definitely will be stopping by in a week when I'm there! Happy snacking

There are multiple locations within Galleries Lafayette to get macarons from Hermes, etc. You can do a comparison right there. And this way you can visit the dome within the galleries, which is a remarkeable architectural sight!
My favorite pastry within GL is the green tea dome at Aoki.

I love the citrus-ginger macarons at Un Dimanche a Paris
