If you have a sweet tooth, then you should definitely pay a visit to this fancy pastry shop where the best double-decker macarons in the world are made. Each piece of pastry is carefully prepared with attention to detail, both ingredient-wise and look-wise. You can choose from a number of flavours and have it packed into lovely petit boxes: the perfect gift from Paris. The store also houses a restaurant serving the finest French dishes.

You can get here by metro, station Concorde (lines 1, 8 and 12) or Madeleine (lines 8, 12 and 14).
