What are Macarons?
Macarons are one of France’s most popular desserts, celebrated for their vibrant colors and delicate meringue composition. These treats are filled with a choice of rich ganache, silky buttercream, or luscious jam.

Seated on the second floor of the iconic Eiffel Tower, the Macaron Bar is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth or an appreciation for fine pastries.
The sleek and modern design of the bar reflects the contemporary approach of Pierre Hermé, often referred to as the “Picasso of Pastry” and internationally acclaimed for his exceptional talent and artistry in creating macarons.
The menu at the Macaron Bar showcases myriad macaron flavors, each carefully crafted with precision and expertise.
