Parisian tea rooms' history is intimately tied to the
history of the Ladurée family. It all began in 1862, when
Louis Ernest Ladurée, a miller from the southwest of
France, founded a bakery in Paris at 16 rue Royale. Half-way between a Parisian café and
a cake shop, Ladurée Fabricant de Douceurs
is the temple of gastronomy and pastry innovation
where each creation moment is of high intensity. While in New York, I knew I wanted to visit
Ladurée.
