Around Le Marais, Paris: Maison George Larnicol

Walking around and about in Paris for us:  Yolanda Zaragoza

Here’s our Paris based contributor, Yolanda, with yet another tempting vicarious walkabout with my favorite ~ macarons!!  It’s a good thing I can’t eat my monitor!  And that there are no chocolates near me at this moment ~ as I’m weak!  Very very weak!  And this is v.e.r.y.  tempting! ~ lulu

French macarons and chocolates “go together like a horse and carriage!” That’s what I have been finding out. For a sugarholic and a chocoholic, like me, that can be dangerous! But, I am delighted to share my new find with you at Maison George Larnicol.

George Larnicol is a confectioner and chocolatier from Brittany, who has set up shop in Paris. He has earned the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France award, given to artisans for their exceptional craftsmanship. While walking on the rue de Rivoli, I noticed how his store was a bit different from the other confectionery shops.

This is what got me so excited! After reading the signage on the window display, there was no stopping me. “We guarantee that all our macarons have no animal fat – 0% dairy – 0% creme – 0% butter.” That means they make the healthiest macarons, right?

Furthermore, they guarantee that they only use natural, vegetable coloring agents.
