CELESTIAL CHRISTMAS

2022 is a special year. It marks the 160th anniversary of Ladurée. Since the early days and the opening of its iconic boutique in the Madeleine district in 1862, our Maison has never ceased to reinvent the French art of living through interpretations of its great classics that are as daring as they are delicate. For the end of the year, we invite you to raise your gourmet pleasure to new heights. Head for the starry sky with a celestial Christmas, adorned in blue and gold. Once again, this year’s festive season shines with a special sparkle: that of a constantly renewed know-how, for the greatest pleasure of all.

This year, the iconic Christmas macarons combine audacity and comfort, through two flavors as surprising as they are festive. A fir tree colored and flavored macaron in limited edition, that is composed of a white Ivory chocolate cream, enhanced by a note of organic fir essential oil. The perfect alliance between sweetness and freshness.

For a perfect accompaniment, hail to the brioche aroma macaron. All roundness and comfort, its cracky shell with slivered almonds hides a filling of great richness: Opalys/Dulcey white chocolate with milky nuances and a hint of vanilla, currant, orange, lemon and butter. 

Julien Alvarez, pastry chef at Ladurée, pays a tribute to the iconic macaron by taking inspiration from it to create a signature log in trompe l’oeil.

Impératrice Amande. Crispy almond feuilletine and fleur de sel, melting almond biscuit, mango compote enhanced with yuzu juice, light almond milk cream and orgeat syrup, thin almond chocolate shell.
