Many times, the gain is not in what we eat, but in the space we enter and the way we are served.
I went into the store of Pierre Hérmes, one of the French confectioners I follow, out of curiosity caused by my profession, just to see some of his work, as one of his trademark images is not/was one of my favorite things to eat.
Friendliness and kindness reigned from the first moment I entered the store, clearly in a "tourist" format, with a backpack on my back and sunglasses on my head, and I was not treated untreated or ignored, as in some situations in this city.
My daughter came in with me and, as she was also a little friendly to experiment, we decided to shake up our budgetary principles a little, choosing a box of 8 macarons, which cost me €28 to take.
The entire process that followed was wonderful, with us questioning what each of those wonderful, colorful trays were and choosing the 8 that best served us. The girl who served us, in a friendly way and not in a hurry because there were more people, explained everything to us in detail and separated the ones we chose.
It was spectacular and very friendly service.
At the end and after paying, I asked if I could take some photos of the store, which immediately authorized it, as the beauty and decoration of the space is worthy of recording for posterity and I leave them to you in the evaluation...
I recommend you visit and try it.
P.s.... They didn't arrive at the hotel and they are really fabulous

I recently visited this incredible pastry shop in the heart of Paris and was absolutely delighted! Each pastry here is a real work of art, and the macarons simply melt in your mouth. Delicate, with bright and rich flavors, they won my heart from the first bite.
In addition to the amazing desserts, I would like to note the amazing atmosphere and warm welcome. The staff here are incredibly friendly and attentive, creating the feeling that you are a welcome guest. The whole atmosphere encourages you to linger longer, enjoying every moment and every sweet masterpiece.
This place is a real paradise for those with a sweet tooth and gourmets. If you are looking for something special, where taste, service and atmosphere merge into one, you should definitely stop by here.
I will be happy to come back again!

This is a shop I always visit when I go to Paris. Just getting off the metro at the Arc de Triomphe and walking down the Champs-Élysées always makes me excited. As I walk, I see Ladurée on my right and Quatre Vincins on my left. Quatre Vincins is a collaboration between Pierre Hermé and L'Occitane, and is a rare shop that can only be found in Paris, or on the Champs-Élysées. You can choose your L'Occitane and macarons at the same time, and there is also a cafe attached. Pierre Hermé is famous for its macarons, but their Ispahan and eclairs are also recommended. It's a wonderful place that makes you feel like you're in Paris just by eating the jewel-like sweets.

As a cook/pastry chef myself, I was very disappointed with the more than mediocre macaroons sold by equally mediocre waitresses.
I don’t think Pierre Hermé has ever tasted his new collection or if so it’s time for him to retire.
I'm not even talking about the exorbitant price for M.....

I was there to buy 3 boxes of chocolate on August 26th around 2pm at St Placide cafe.
Awards are obviously abusive and the size of the cakes smaller but whatever: I am a very old customer and visit the house very often and I was parked right next door. I bought 3 boxes of various sizes including one for my grandchildren for a total of 83 euros. I wanted after buying them and taking out my credit card to pay them write the letter E on the one intended for small children. The employee told me it was forbidden by a house rule. I was stuck. He explained that I would be allowed to write this letter when I paid for the boxes. I was leaning against the counter, a convenient place to write for a person standing with a cane. Nothing did. When you train your employees in a
However stubborn, a customer with a modicum of dignity does not return to the store.
I bought there for 500/700 euros every year and will never set foot there again.

The cakes are beautiful and varied...fruit, vanilla, chocolate, creamy, crispy or praline...but they are all too sweet...to keep all that sugar? or to please international tastes where sugar is more than necessary?? which kills the taste a bit. The service is good but the shops are very different depending on the neighborhood and the international clientele, some of whom take photos of everything...so it is sometimes slow, very slow for local clients

Disappointed.
If you don't have diabetes or cholesterol before eating these pastries, you'll be after them.
Hyper sweet and what about the dose of butter.
I bought a fhlor, I had trouble finishing it, I put it on the meal I had just before. For the "2000 leaves", an absolute horror, sickening at will, full of butter and sugar, worthy of a famous Breton cake. Not great for luxury pastry: do not revisit a pastry if you are not able to do at least the equivalent of the original.
My husband took an intense chocolate, his reaction: it is intensely buttered.
When you hear the critics on the famous pastry show, you expect to enjoy fine pastries, perfectly dosed with butter and sugar. Here... He had a very heavy hand. Is that his trademark?

Super ordinary cakes macaroons from Ispahan old and racial other cakes pretentious and disappointing on the other hand we do not skimp on the prices. Perhaps the individual packaging can justify the prices? Expensive cardboard!
All this is not honest

Repeat customer. Bought an assortment of 12 macarons for €37 rue des Abesses on December 16 for an invitation on December 17. Stored in good conditions in the refrigerator. Very very disappointed with the biscuit, we had the impression of having stale biscuits... how is this possible 24 hours later?
Will hesitate to come back...

While passing through the marsh boutique, we wanted to discover the macaroons, Pierre Herme's specialties. We were very disappointed at the tasting, the bland flavors, neutral pistachio taste. No interest, especially given the price.

We discovered Pierre Herme cakes a few years ago during a trip to Paris. They were extraordinary.
Back in Paris, it was only natural that I bought 3 to bring back.
What a desappointment ! They weren't at all like we remembered, drier and less flavorful and I just saw on the box that they were frozen!
What a shame for such a name and what a waste.
So disappointed 😞

Very expensive pastry. But it is good. And fortunately given the price. With inflation and the rise in electricity, cakes have really gotten smaller and prices have increased. The service is very satisfactory. The servers are generally smiling and very polite.

6 cakes purchased. Madame Figaro: “wet” cake, unpleasant in the mouth. Black lemon tart: dry and brittle paste without interest. Raspberry tart not purchased because of sloppy finishing! What is going on ? I'm worried about my baking god!
