This is at Fauchon - amazing store, with all sorts of goodies: foie gras, terrines, pâte de fruits, etc. But look at these pastries! Those are raspberries,
painted a pearly white! I really cant' say enough good things about Fauchon.
Eclairs at Fauchon - not sure what I think of decoratingan eclair like a hot dog, but I'm sure they taste good.
A citron macaron from Fauchon. Perfect macaron shell - you can see the
crunchy exterior, followed by the almondy chewyness, followed by
perfectly flavored filling.

The macarons we ordered at Fauchon were full size - about 2-3 inches in diameter, as you can see above. I must say that they were fantastic. Maybe taste and texture are affected by the size of the macaron - maybe the bigger the better? Anyway, these were a welcome treat after a very wonderful but exhausting day at the Louvre.

I want to come out there and visit just to taste all of these things :). (I think the real trick would be moderating myself enough that I could still fit in the airplane seat on the way home!)
Or be able to afford anything else in Paris! Seriously, my pocketbook took a hit :)
