| Child's tea set; OK, it's sort of an up-scale place |
 |
| Down the road a bit, at Printemps, the Laduree shoppe; finest macaroons in Paris, we were told; must be an acquired taste... |

| Way down the road, and across the river, at the shrine of St. Catherine Laboure; perhaps we were doing penance for spending so much time at Galaries Lafayette |

You didn't try les macarons at Laduree? You are missing out. They are brilliant. Though I need to ask my friend about the other "best" place in Paris, apparently they have foie gras flavored ones!
Yes, we tried them, at the Laduree shoppe in one of the department stores. Maybe they are just too subtle for me. Pierre Holme is the other party to the Great Paris Macaroon Debate. Google for a fun read. Apparently it's just the old traditional (Laduree) vs the nouvelle (Holme). An even better read (forget
macaroons) is "A Tale of Two Cafes" http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/a-tale-of-two-cafes-1279924.html. Highly recommended.
