Ladurée
Maison Ladurée is a traditional French upscale confectionery chain ( pâtisserie ) that is particularly well known for its colorful macarons .
Louis Ernest Ladurée (1836–1904) opened a pastry shop in 1862 on Rue Royale in the area around the Parisian church La Madeleine in the 8th arrondissement . It was the year the first stone was laid for the Opéra Garnier and the district became a posh district from which Laduree benefited. The business flourished during the Second Empire, and although the business burned down during the Paris Commune in 1871 , it continued to grow during the Third Republic . In 1890, the shop was expanded to include a tea house decorated by Jules Chéret and became a meeting place for Parisian high society. A relative of Ladurée, Pierre Desfontaines, invented the typical recipe for Ladurée macarons in the 20th century, more and more branches were opened and the noble products were sold worldwide. Pralines , sweets, homemade marshmallows and fruit pulp jellies as well as teas, honey, jams and a spread made from caramel salt butter are part of the culinary range. Inspired by the different aromas, Ladurée also created scented candles, house perfumes and a care line that smells of almonds. The house's cookbooks are also available in English and French.
The Société par actions simplifiée has been part of the French Groupe Holder since 1993 . In 2006 the house made the pastries for the opulent feasts in the film Marie Antoinette .
