Ladurée is a beautiful, luxury cakes and pastries brand which is based in Paris. Paneled walls, gilt accents, and bobeche-dripping chandeliers set an elegant scene for this busy tea room.

As if the luxe interior weren't enticing enough, Ladurée offers some of the city's most luscious pastries imaginable... It is the inventor of the double-decker Macaroon, 15,000 of which are sold every day), and they come in a dozen flavors. If they're not enough to send you into paroxysms of delight, look to napoleons, cakes, croissants, and pains au chocolat for your temptation.
