A GIFT BOX OF MACARONS
from PIERRE HERMÉ
It is the quintessential Paris question:
Ladurée or Pierre Hermé? Macaron
allegiances are taken seriously in the
French capital. Personally, we favour
Hermé for softer meringue shells with
generous créme fillings in highly unusual
flavours. Try the salted butter caramel, and
the milk chocolate with passion fruit and
vanilla.

WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS
As tempting as it may be at the time, it’s never a good idea to pop a ripe brie in your bag as a
souvenir of your time in Paris. However, here are some fine alternatives…

FOR SOLO TRAVELLERS
IT’S NICE TO BE ALONE IN PARIS
by HERB LESTER
“
Some people are struck with terror at
the thought of finding themselves alone
and at a loose end in a big city, but we
can think of no better to way to pass the
time,” says graphic artist Herb Lester. To
illustrate what he means, he’s drawn a
map with suggestions for enjoying Paris in
the company of your own self. Social types
might prefer his
Paris for Pleasure-Seekers
map.
