For macarons, try:
Pain de Sucre
14 Rue Rambuteau

It shouldn't be far from where you are staying, and the macarons were to die for, as were the gourmet marshmallows. Give the pistachio one a try

This is the exact same word just in two different languages. Different countries have different recipes for what cookie they use that word for, that is all. Macaron is French and macaroon is English for the exact same word, which I believe is really Italian, maccarone or maccherone.

Actually Christina, Macaroons are different from Macarons. Both words derive from maccherone, but the end product is different depending on country. The only similarity is that all are unleavened "cookies" with a meringue base.
Americans used to a macaroon, which is a soft, but dense coconut covered, sometimes chocolate dipped cake-like mound "cookie," would be shocked to find candy-hued meringue shell sandwich cookies at Ladurée or whatever place is currently hailed as the best macaron place in Paris (or elsewhere in France for that matter).
