Le Jour de Macaron

This Friday, March 20th is Jour de Macaron (Macaron Day) in Paris! If we were all there, we could be standing in line, waiting for our treats together!

This news came in an e-mail from Pierre Hermé (I’ve translated the list of macaron flavors, so you can begin your drooling quicker!):

In a gourmet retrospective, this assortment of 24 macarons is an opportunity to discover or rediscover the original flavors designed by Pierre Hermé for 10 years.
Within this package, the presence of a red macaron shows support of the House of Pierre Hermé Paris for the Fédération des Maladies Orphelines, an organization which helps break the silence of 4 million people in France living with 8,000 rare and unknown diseases.
