A Paris house since 1862

Ladurée was founded in Paris in 1862 by Louis Ernest Ladurée, who opened a bakery on the rue Royale. After a fire in 1871 it became a pâtisserie, and its salon de thé, one of the first in Paris, followed. The double-shell macaron with a soft filling became the house signature and is still made the same way today.

A short, clear wedding range

For weddings the house keeps the offer simple. Macaron pyramids come in pink and ivory or in a chocolate version covered in gold leaf, in several sizes. Sugared almonds are sold in cornets in ivory, rose, blue and green, so they can follow a colour scheme.

Favours and gifts

Boxes of macarons, Eugénie biscuits and chocolates serve as table gifts, guest favours or gifts for the couple. Macarons and packaging can be personalised with a message, monogram or logo, with sleeves, ribbons, stickers and message cards added to the boxes.

Salons in Paris and London

In Paris and London the maison also caters receptions and hires its salons, from a lounge for 40 guests on rue Bonaparte to the Champs-Élysées house, which holds up to 250. Julien Alvarez, a pastry world champion in 2011, has been Chef Pâtissier since 2021 and created the Eugénie biscuit in 2023.
