The macaron, a symbol of French refinement
In the colorful world of French pastry, the macaron holds a unique place. This little culinary gem has had centuries to build its reputation. Consumed since the Middle Ages as an almond cookie, the macaron was introduced to France by Catherine de Medici before becoming one of the flagship treats of the court of Versailles.
It took several evolutions for the emblematic recipe known today in Paris to be born: a generous ganache encased between two light and crispy shells.
Today, each Fauchon macaron is an exceptional product, a concentrate of flavor and savoir-faire that is savored in a single bite. Feel free to browse our Fauchon macaron collection to choose the box or assortment that will delight your partner.

Maison Fauchon and the macaron: a culinary love story
Renowned for its high standards since 1886, Maison Fauchon has made the macaron its masterpiece. The preparation of this delicacy requires millimeter precision:
-
The meringue and the paste: Egg whites are beaten with sugar, then worked with a fine almond powder to obtain a fluid and shiny paste. For festive creations, a hint of natural coloring (such as an intense red dye) colors the mixture.
-
Piping and baking: Using a piping bag, our chefs shape regular strips on parchment paper. Baking is monitored minute by minute to guarantee that coveted soft center.
-
Filling: The shells are filled with a creamy ganache, a fresh fruit compote, or an intense chocolate ganache.
To accompany your declarations, you can directly add our exclusive Valentine's Day macaron box, a true symbol of romantic indulgence, to your cart.
Which flavors to choose to amaze your significant other?
Each recipe is conceived as a gastronomic creation. For Valentine's Day, the combination of textures and flavors is at the heart of the experience:
-
The great classics: Lovers of roundness will appreciate our recipes with Bourbon vanilla, salted butter caramel, coffee, hazelnut or milk chocolate.
-
Fruity and tangy notes: Let yourself be seduced by the intensity of raspberry, the freshness of lemon or the delicacy of a rose fragrance.
-
Audacious creations: Let yourself be tempted by our white chocolate macaron with a milk heart, our dark chocolate and chili combinations, or our ganaches worked with a touch of ginger.
