It's Sunday, March 20th so it must be MACARON DAY!!!
Already 10:15 and we're late. The FREE macaron party began at 10 am. Of course there is a donation for a worthy cause, 'Autour des Williams'.
BEAR studies Pierre Herme's map of EIGHT places to visit for FREE macarons(3 chaque fois)!
1st stop PH 72, rue de Bonaparte - a big crowd already.
A taste of what's to come dans le vitrine...
What to choose? There are many new exotic flavors of the 25 on offer:
Asperges verte & huile de noisette
Metisse:carotte, orange & canelle
Metisse:carotte, orange & canelle
Depayse: The vert Matcha, haricot rouge azuki, citron vert & gingembre
Infiniment Jasmin
Coing & rose
Figue, eglantine & foie gras
Since I am collecting macarons for French Girl I will get all the new strange flavors...
Instant gratification dans le rue!
A baby gets the best view...
BEAR looks inside...
Carefully orchestrated pandemonium on rue Bonaparte...
So much so that we get to sneak some photos...
Of the prized macarons - miam-miam
BEAR is quietly humming, "Oh Happy Day"
Off we go to PH 185, rue de Vaugiraud where calm reigns supreme...
So many PHs line the walls they are reflected in my watch!11:15 am
Une figue svp...
Next stop PH Publics drugstore - 133, Champs-Elysees.

Everyone in Paris shows up for Jour du Macarons including serious bikers...
At PH 4, rue Cambon the line is short and fast.
No Parisien dogs waiting for macarons, but on rue de Rivoli, oui bien sur...
Meanwhile les macarons Pierre Herme are waiting for French Girl, especially the asperge...
BONJOUR JOUR DU MACARONS 2011!

JOUR DU MACARON
Sunday, March 20, 2011
Today is the 6th annual "Jour du Macaron” (Macaron Day) in France ~ an annual celebration of the delicate meringue confections that come in a rainbow of colours and fillings.
Pierre Hermé, who launched this event in 2005, will be offering free macarons in his Paris stores as will other participating members of the Relais Desserts association, which represents the top pastry chefs in the world. The other pastry shops in Paris taking part include Sadaharu Aoki, Laurent Duchêne, Jean-Paul Hévin and Arnaud Larher.
The event is also a wonderful opportunity to support Autour des Williams, a charity that funds research into rare diseases and provides assistance to those afflicted by Williams-Beuren syndrome. Donations will be accepted in each participating shop.
Macaron lovers in the U.S. can check out the official Macaron Day New York 2011 website for details
