Ladurée is a French luxury bakery, sweets maker house, candy shop and tea room. It is one of the top premier sellers of the double-decker macaron, fifteen thousand of which are sold every day. They are still one of the best known makers of macarons in the world.
Fame to the house Ladurée, came in 1930, when the grandson of Louis-Ernest Pierre Desfontaines thought up glue together two cookies together by means of the filling. And so it appeared a new kind of macarons, which is now called Gerbet, or Parisian macarons.
Desfontaines also opened a tea room. Dazzled by this success FrensisHolder, who was the founder HolderGroup and his son David decided to buy Laduree in 1993. They have expanded and opened a restaurant Ladurée and tea room on the famous Champs Elysees in 1997.
