Wall-to-wall bins of all kinds of chocolates, and we bought a small bag to sample a few. The assorted chocolate balls were creamy and crunchy and definitely some of the best chocolates I have ever eaten in my life. Given that it was Easter weekend, I was surprised not to find any chocolate bunnies in the store. Instead, they had... More

This place is amazing! We stopped on our way to Luxembourg Gardens and couldn't believe how beautiful and artistic this place was. Often times flavor is compromised when they get so artistic, but not in this case. You get both amazing favors and varieties, along with unbelievable art! You have to see this place! More

We had a great time selecting different kinds of chocolates from the "choose for yourself" selections. The macaroons were fabulous and everyone was helpful. This place is definitely worth searching out. More

We stopped by this shop while staying in St. Germaine area. The macaroons were so delicious!!! So light yet rich at the same time. It is a must try stop if you are in Paris! More

I think you can actually taste this place from the pictures. In person it's even better. Great selection of their own chocolates, caramels, macaroons and insane holiday creations. So good. More

I double dog dare you to walk past Georges Larnicol on St. Germain and not walk in. The macarons are the first thing you see, but there are amazing chocolate sculptures and a whole bunch of other delicious treats. I'm sure every staff member is well-informed, but we had the good fortune to meet a lovely woman who knew exactly... More

On a recent visit to Paris I stumbled across maison larnicol. I knew I wanted to have a macaron experience in Paris, but I didn't expect this.... These were the best macarons I have ever experienced. I bought a bottle of milk, a big one, went back to my hotel, and commenced devouring a large assortment, marvelling at the detail... More

This is right by the Opera metro and worth going to as a special visit even if you're not staying nearby as we were - so could go in every day of our Paris trip! The chocolate artworks are extraordinary and I would have loved to have had one as a very special (and expensive) treat. But the pick n... More

We were wandering past this place and couldn't help but notice the crowds of Parisians flowing out the door. We stepped into the most divine chocolate store I have ever seen. Everything was made of chocolate and as were there just a few days before Valentines Day, there were many love themed wares on display. I managed to restrict myself... More

This place is amazing. I am a huge [good quality] chocolate fan, I loved this place. We made the mistake of not trying the chocolate until we returned to the US. If we would have tried it the while we were in Paris we could have returned to the store to buy more. Fortunately I was able to order them... More
