Today is JOUR DU MACARON day. Created by Pierre Herme.
The one day a year you can get THREE FREE macarons from Pierre Herme + one red macaron more with a charity donation to FMO (La Federation des Maladies Orphelines)
At 9:00 AM no one is waiting yet so I go off to shoot various and sundry...
Explanation in the Pierre Herme's window...JOUR DU MACARON is perfect if you're on THE EURO DIET...at least for your pocketbook if not for your waistline.
Around 9:55 AM - a short line. I join it. Someone asks me are you an amateur of the macaron? I certainly am...whatever that is.
The first FREEEEE macarons come out the door!YAY!
Which one do you choose?Well which 3 + the red charity macaron filled with chocolate-raspberry.
Faster, faster!
33 flavors to choose from! ! !
The charity mac.
OH HELL I missed these two-toned macarons...
The prize waiting to be eaten.
The donation box - you toss in whatever you want.
Waiting, waiting to get in.The line is now around the corner.
Over at Jean-Paul Hevin they are celebrating JOUR DU MACARON too. No one is waiting. Here you must buy a box a box of 5 for 6.90 euros and then they give you a free raspberry mac. They donate 1 euro for you. Hmmm...
There are 2 other pastry chefs celebrating today. I'm off to check them out and report back.

Anyway it's a race here against time - MSN keeps shutting down my internet for no good reason. As I raced to post I wolfed down my free macarons :(
MUST replenish supplies at once. I forgot to even taste them!
A bientot :)
