    Macarons here are not too sweet and also very airy! My wife and I love it ! I’m not sure this is the store we went but l like the staff working there, they try really hard in English to communicate with us and understand what we ordered! I would love to bring some home but without refrigerator they are only taste good within 24 hours! Our long flight home will not cut it! It is not cheap also!

    Love the macarons because it is not that sweet compared to those I had in other countries. Price is at a high side with fancy packaging.

    Luscious macarons, very well made, have a different texture, with crispness on the outside and soft on the inside. It is only possible to buy the box, so it is only to experience some flavors or take a souvenir from the Castle to some friend.

    Been there September 2016... Place is tiny, nowhere to sit. It was also mostly empty. All they had is extremely overpriced macaroons and coffee. The seller lady spoke only French. I didn't buy anything because even if you go to other best macaroon place in Paris, price will be considerably lower. And do they think tourists will want to carry boxes the whole day at Versailles? All I wanted is coffee and croissant or cake but they didn't have it. There is though an Angelina cafe near Marie Antoinette Palace. Which is also overpriced but tasty and friendly. And you can sit outside.

    Honestly, what threw me off was the unfriendly staff members in this overly priced bakery. The man behind the counter was very condescending when my sister asked for a bottle of water. We’ve been to many locations throughout Paris and had a phenomenal experience. This is the first one that we’ve had a negative experience with. Save your money and go somewhere else. There are obviously plenty of bakeries through Paris where the people will treat you better than they will!

    The price is okay considering is inside of one of the most popular tourist attractions. I recommend pistachio as the best one of the options. They also have some drinks and you can pay cashless which is awesome these days!

    Enjoy a delicious snack of 6 macarons in a gorgeous box, made from fresh ingredients and purchased inside the palace of Versailles! Pick a spot and enjoy them in the garden. Have patience, there's a line.

    The macarons are very tasty, especially the raspberry one. I agree with the other opinions that it is not very sweet and that makes them delicious. They are a bit expensive we paid €7,20 for 3 macarons but I think it is also the way to establish that they are a high end patisserie.

    A small store located inside of Versailles. Hazelnut flavor is a good choice, Marie-Antoinette is interestinggggggggg. The pistachio engenie is pretty good! Worth trying. Tip: you can’t eat inside anywhere, not even the store so you’ll have to eat it outside the building

    The Macarons at Ladurée are delicious. They have got the correct amount of sweetness, hence the deliciousness. The prices are bit on the expensive side, but the quality is very good. Highly recommended if you visit Palace of Versailles.

    this was my first time trying a macaron from ladurée. i love macarons and i’ve been coveting one of their pretty boxes for years now but never wanted to order online. the price is understandable for the location, but more so for the quality of the macarons. they are simply the best. i had pistachio, passionfruit, and rose. each one was perfect. the rose flavor was a standout. it tasted exactly the way a perfect and fresh rose smells, without being bitter or tasting of perfume. i won’t be able to give this location 5 stars, as the young woman (light brown hair chin-length with highlights, slightly shorter than average height, glasses) at the counter was a tyrant. we visited the afternoon of thursday, 12 oct just before 1400. i saw a ladurée cart and ladurée shop (to the left of the front of the château) - this is in reference to the woman at the shop. she was very rude, unhelpful, rushed me although there was only one other person in the shop (my mother who i was clearly with), and did not listen or pay attention to my questions so that i was forced to ask them several times each. i told her that i wanted the green box with silver foil, pointed to it, and asked how many macarons fit. she did not hear (or see) the first part of my question, and grew frustrated telling me i can purchase however many macarons i want. this Q&A went back and forth 3 times until i saw they had a display showing it fits 6. i said ok i will have 6. i gave her my flavor picks and asked her for a green box again. she exasperatedly informed me that it costs more. i said yes, i understand. she asked if i wanted the macarons in a bag and to have the box separate so as not to get the box dirty. i said yes, please. she grabbed the pink box (this is now the 5th time i have said green box and pointed to it). she got frustrated again and sighed, putting the pink box back and getting a green one. i asked for the macarons in a bag again at this point (at her initial suggestion), but she put them in the box anyway. it ended up being fine, only a little crumb got in after i ate the macarons. overall, it was an atrocious service experience. i’m a millennial and i don’t fault anyone for bare bones service. i don’t want anyone to perform free emotional labor for me on the clock. you don’t have to smile or pretend to like me or your job, but at least listen to what i’m saying. maybe she wouldn’t have been so frustrated if she’d just taken the time to understand the very first thing i said, but something tells me she’s just like that! i don’t know!

    Got the big macaroons (pistachio and framboise) at Versailles! Very delicious but a little bit expensive (5.5€ each)

  • 3/5 Eakkapon P. 1 year ago on Google
    Macarons are ok. For my opinion is similar to other shops.

  • 1/5 Kris W. 1 year ago on Google
    🤮 My friend and I bought macarons each. But the worker put them all in just ONE paper bag. I asked her to give one more paper bag, and I told her that my friend and I were to go the opposite way so we needed two bags. But she frowned so severely and emphasized that she will give one more but it is exceptional case. The face was too rude. I understand that using less bag is environmentally friendly, but I have right to claim my own paper bag since I payed €2.4 and it includes the cost of paper bag. SO DISAPPOINTING :( I visited 14.06.2022 3:10 pm + She was not just making a cold face. She was frowning to me really badly, intentionally, wrinkling the eyebrows. + For your informaton, I am Asian. I'm Korean.

    Impossible to buy macaroons without a ticket to the palace. Also, the servi e couldn't care less about your visit.

    The famous “Marie Antoinette Macaron” “Two Light Blue Macaron shells filled with a smooth cream infused with Marie-Antoinette Tea (black tea, citrus, rose).

    Macarons from the chain shop in Versaille. It is located across the way from the souvinier shop, close to the door that leads out to the interior outdoor area.

    Visited 5th October. Probably would have enjoyed the macaroons, although the experience was quickly ruined by how blatantly rude the young girl serving us was to my partner and I. Continuously interrupted us and complained several times that we chose to pay for our orders seperately. Never seen such a negative attitude from customer service in my life. Bit of a disappointing end to a beautiful day at Versailles.

    Very bad staff attitude!!! There was group of visitors only looking then I stepped to order , he said to me in a rude way: stand in the queue! Although there was no queue as I said they were only looking and not waiting !!! After I had the macaron he said again in an impolite way: it’s forbidden to eat inside the palace ! Talking as if he is taking to a stupid person or someone who can’t really know the rules there !!!! My visit was on 25/9
