Hello there…

I was ten or eleven years old when I first visited Paris with my mother. Since then, it has been one of my favorite places in the world. Besides being the most romantic city in the world, Paris has so much history and so much to see from Musee du Louvre, to River Seine, the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. It is no wonder it was voted the #1 best place to live by International Living. If you are passionate about beauty, art and culture like I am, you will love Paris and you will never get bored because the views are just spectacular!

 For Paris culture and history…

 See

  • Amelie (starring Audrey Tautou)
  • Chocolat
  • Paris, Je ‘Taime
  • La Vie en Rose
  • Blue (one third of Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Red, White and Blue)

 Learn

 Enjoy

 Have a wonderful day!

Ladurée versus Pierre Hermé Macarons

I visited my sister yesterday and we were reminiscing about mom’s many travels to Paris. The conversation quickly drifted to one debate: Ladurée or Pierre Hermé macarons.

I like Ladurée better she prefer Pierre Hermé. Who is right?

Macarons are one of my favorite Parisian sweet treats in the world. The look of it alone makes me melt. Ladurée macarons are just right, firmer texture; the lemon is more bitter than sweet which is how I like my sweets.

Pierre Hermé on the other hand is too bold and intense for my taste and a bit mushy in texture.

So what is your preference?

To learn more visit Ladurée.fr and Pierre hermé

Have a very decadent day.
