ladurée with kids – paris edition

Would you believe I still have content to share from our Paris trip?! I have a big finale planned, once I reach the end of it all…and I’ll be reaching that point soon (very soon). We made reservations for brunch at Ladurée, at the Champs-Elysee location (we had plans for the Arc after), and asked photographer Ashley Ludaescher to join us. I was curious if it would be suitable for toddlers  – I had seen a few there before, but never my own! Knowing how well-behaved Henry + Marie are gave us confidence, but hey – they’re still toddlers. We went in with the mindset that it wouldn’t be a leisurely experience, but that it was possible. Plus, I introduced them to the joy of macarons early. Start ’em young, am I right?!

There are quite a few things on the menu suitable for children…we went with the mini burgers + frites, along with freshly squeezed orange juice. Of course they knew it was only a stepping stone to the main event, MACARONS. Marie took it upon herself to entertain the table while we waited for dessert. Henry is particularly obsessed with the green (pistache) macarons – it happens to be his favorite color and one of his most loved flavors. He loves feeding people (just like his Daddy), and always shares – he’s the sweetest. The staff was quite attentive, and kept things moving for us, which we greatly appreciated. As any parent with toddlers knows, the window for excellent behavior is modest.
