Some scenes from the exterior. Make no mistake, Ladurée is a true luxury brand!
The cover of the menu; a Millefeuille Fraise pour moi, coffee with chocolate (I don’t drink tea!); and a strawberry Ladurée Religieuses (for D), (a very old and traditional dessert).
A peek in the back.
A sweet scene captured by D outside the patisserie part of the store.
Ladurée at 21 Rue Bonaparte.
And the chandeliers at Ladurée on Rue Royale.

I’m dedicating this post to three dear Canadian friends, Judith, Jen and Valerie, who regularly gather for tea and who would most enjoy a magical afternoon spent at Ladurée. In fact, I believe we should all meet up there, what do you think?
Thank you kindly for your lovely comments on the macaron post. I know these recent posts are a bit fun and frivolous, but everyone needs a bit of that, don’t they? Sooo much happening here and so much more to share. Calendars nearly all done, new projects and a surprise! Coming up Thursday.
love,

Beautiful. Sweet. Decadence. What more could a girl ask for?
Loving your Paris images, and looking forward to your surprise!
Wishing you a lovely week…

Truly spectacular….your talent is so wonderful to behold! I am putting your link on my blogroll….should have done that a long time ago!
Beautiful pictures and you are very right about needing a bit of fun and frivolity. Love those pictures and there's nothing quite like tea (or coffee in my case) at Ladurée… Have a lovely week, Love from London xo
Yes my dear they do — i love your post today. We went to Laduree twice in Champs Elyseè. It was perfect both times.
I pasted Rue Boneparte almost every day – it was in our neighbourhood.
Hope everything is wonderful with you.

Dear Georgianna, I love these images…so happy and elegant at the same time. No one does it better.
ooohhh so beautiful….looks like the perfect way to spend an afternoon. I just love your photos!!!
Divine, G! I didn't see anything like this in the movie Midnight in Paris!
I'm a coffee girl too. Tea just isn't my thing.
i think i would have to learn to like tea and coffee…..i don't drink either….these images are beautiful….what an inspiring trip you had!!
hugs, cindy
Amazing pictures!!xx
Your photography always makes me feel as if I was there. So beautiful!
yippie skippie for "fun and frivolous"!
OMG – your travel pics just keep getting better and better G!! Each setting has a magical feel and I want to be transported there immediately!!! LOVE this group – love them all! xo t.
ahhh….memories. Especially love the last photo. Hope you have a wonderful week xo Lauren
And I thought I saw a millefeuille framboise…. Mmmmmmm, looks delicious!!!!

I love your photography style! If I may pick a favorite, I'm completely smitten with the first image. :)
Seriously swooning here. Not only with the subject matter and composition, but the depth of field is absolutely divine. C'est magnifique.
Oh Georgianna: I would just love to have tea in that lovely place. I would have to practise for a long time to behave myself and not spill my coffee all over my self. It seems so tre chic not country bumpkin. I am so happy to be able to enjoy your travels with you vicariously and of course the photography is out of this world. :) X Valerie
Oh my! just beautiful….and would be a lovely respite thank you!…smiles.
Yes, tea at Laduree would be perfect. Count me in:) Love the dreamy quality of the photos. Take care, hugs Jen.
Hello G
Well you promised a special tea and Laduree is just that. What a magnificent place with sweets beyond imagination.
Thank you both for sharing these pictures and for your invitation for Val, Jen and I to join you there for tea some day. It would be an honour.
Judith
Hi Georgianna,
Your photographs of Laduree are amazing and yes, indeed a luxury brand.
We had lunch there and I think it was my most memorable meal I had, while in France.
Will have to share the photos on my blog.
Have a happy week
Hugs
Carolyn
These photos are heavenly.. You truly no how to work magic with the camera.. So glad I found your blog..
Hugs, Linda
Oh, your photos are always so beautiful. I could look at them over and over. I just love the one of the girl standing on her tippy-toes to peer in the window.

Such beautiful photos! When my husband and I were in London two years ago we went to the Laduree café at Harrods and I LOVED it! Everything was so beautiful and the pastries tasted delicious. Next to us were a young Asian couple, and the girl had just bought a white Dior coat… That's as close to that luxury brand as I'll ever come :)
Take care! xo Moa
Laduree looks so enchantingly beautiful! And their desserts look so good as well. No wonder everyone says it's a MUST to visit when in London. I'm in awe at the beauty of it all. Thanks for capturing it so beautifully, G! :)

Delightful!I have been looking forward to this post as tea at Laudree's is definitely on my wishlist of things to do. :)
Beautiful Georgianna! I would love to have a cup of tea there once. :) Great pictures. I do love the ones from the outside too. Have a lovely week! xo
Oh goodness, Georgianna,, these photos belong in Victoria magazine — the old Victoria which was so much better than the new iteration… thanks so much for taking us along! xoxo
Dear Georgianna, These photos look totally divine! The architecture, colours and the afternoon tea are so beautiful!! LOVE ♥♥♥
Dearest sweet g, I am in love with Ladurée ~ truly beautiful and such a lovely place to enjoy the afternoon tea! Thanks so much for sharing sweet g. Have a lovely merry happy day and love to yoU!
Hi Georgianna! I so much enjoy your pictures! These are fantastic and I bet the tea + was delicious. Your pictures are amazingly beautiful and really capture it all!
Greetings from the Netherlands!

Brilliant magical photos Georgianna – it's like being in a dream world – thank you for putting a big smile on my face. xx
This looks so beautiful! Gorgeous photos, Georgianna. I simply love the lavender and mint exterior (and everything inside of course). :)

What a fabulous post with fabulous photos! Beautiful! My son was in Paris for three weeks this summer. I drool over his photos too. Thank you for sharing this with us and how fun to dedicate this to my three Canadian friends too. I live in another province but we are all Canadian. Have a lovely weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi
How did I not see this post until today!! Oh so gorgeous, you've both really captured the luxury and delight that is Laduree :) It makes me wish I was on my way to Paris very soon. I hope you and D had a wonderful time there xxx
Wow, love these photos! They are "alive". Truly beautiful!
Looks like a truly lovely spot for a bit of tea and sweet treat! Your photos are as wonderful! You've captured the elegance and beauty perfectly.
OMG, you was to Laduree!!!! The most beautiful cafe ever! I love the macarons and your photos!!!!
Hugs,
Yvonne
Amazing pictures! I have been a couple of times to Laduree, but never captured it so beautifully!! wow!
Ladurée looks like an amazing place! I've seen photos of it and read about it in magazines (as I'm sure have you!) but I bet nothing comes close to being there in person. Thanks so much for sharing your visit with us. xo
Fantastic post, dear G! You could truly convey the atmosphere of luxury and make it even more magical, I am sure! Oh, that fresh raspberry cake and a strawberry yummy button below!;)
One more great blog from you, beautiful photos and really beautiful colors. I'm so glad I found your blog.
