Citron vert, citron, pistache! Citron vert, citron, pistache! Miam-miam! Say it three times quickly and while you do, I will eat as many of these macarons as I can. My guess is that there are more than 60 of these little beauties and that we'll still have plenty to share! Although I have only bought macarons individually or by the box, you can buy a tower. This pâtisserie sells the towers by height with an estimate of the number of macarons. Can you imagine going to a wedding party and hovering around a macaron tower while trying not to look like a pig?<br /><br />This is <a href="http://www.gerard-mulot.com/"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Gérard Mulot</strong></span> </a>en juin and the line extended out the door and around the corner. There are smudges on this glass as a result of my lèche-vitrines. I think that this French word originated with someone actually <em>licking a window</em> like this! Que pensez-vous?<br /><br />Soon I will tell you a more personal story about les macarons.</div><div align="center"><br /><br />Gérard Mulot<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">76, rue de Seine<br />Métro Odéon, Métro Mabillon</span> </div>
