Comparing Macarons
Food tours in Paris that include macarons do not focus exclusively on macarons. Usually they will stop and have one or two at a shop and then continue on. In this tour, we only focus on macarons, and we bring all of them with us to compare in the Luxembourg Gardens, a historical World Heritage site in the center of Paris. You become the oficial judge to determine for yourself who makes the best macarons.
