Le Jardin Sucré in Paris: flagship creations from the 17th arrondissement patisserie

After a first store opened in the Yvelines, the Jardin Sucré exported in 2017 to the 17th arrondissement of Paris. If the macaroons are the undisputed stars of the store, the other pastries are truly worth the detour, such as the pistachio and orange blossom tart or the yuzu and black sesame tart.

For guaranteed gourmet pleasure, head to rue de Courcelles, in Paris's 17th arrondissement. It's here, in their lovely boutique Le Jardin Sucré, that Mélanie L'Héritier and Arnaud Mathez have been offering delicious macarons and savory pastries since 2017.

To create such delicious macaroons, the two pastry chefs only work with exceptional, seasonal products: salted butter caramel, Sicilian pistachio, milk chocolate hazelnut and fleur de sel, Madagascar vanilla or black sesame and fleur de sel macaroons! A total of 12 mouth-watering flavours to discover on site.

Quite simply, everyone in the store is crazy about these macaroons. It has to be said that the two self-taught pastry chefs, who opened their first store in Cernay-la-Ville, Yvelines, won the French Macaroon Championship in 2014, aged just 25!

And Mélanie L'Héritier and Arnaud Mathez are not lacking in imagination, having also developed their range of pastries with some magnificent and delicious creations. The house best-seller you absolutely must try? The pistachio-orange blossom tart, with pistachio ganache, pistachio praline flowing center and orange blossom mousse, topped with roasted pistachios.

Another favorite is the unusual black sesame - yuzu tart, with its incredible yuzu mousse, black sesame praline flowing center, black sesame ganache and charcoal sweet pastry.

For cocoa lovers, we recommend you try our Macaé tart, made with a sweet cocoa paste, a dark chocolate ganache from Brazil, roasted hazelnuts, a flowing heart of 100% hazelnut praline and a dark chocolate mousse from Brazil.

If you prefer comforting pastries, then let yourself be tempted by the Paris-Brest with homemade praline. And for the rest, discover the Victoria, with coconut mousse, passion fruit confit, mango and pineapple pieces and coconut crumble.

The Parisian patisserie also offers mouth-watering cookies and two delicious flans: one with vanilla and the other with chocolate.
