Paris, May 1, 2026 – A unique collaboration between two esteemed French institutions, Pierre Hermé Paris and the Presidency of the Republic, will see the launch of an exclusive tricolor macaron box. This limited edition, featuring macarons in the colors of the French flag, will be available starting May 7, 2026. The announcement was made today, highlighting a celebration of French gastronomy and heritage.
A Symbol of French Excellence and Heritage
The collaboration brings together the renowned haute pâtisserie of Pierre Hermé with the symbolic weight of the Elysée Palace. This initiative aims to transmit the essence of French taste, artisanal excellence, and national pride through a gourmet product. The macarons, in blue, white, and red, are not merely decorative but embody the identity of the Republic, its universal values, and its art de vivre.
The collection will be available at Maison Elysée, located at 88 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris (75008), as well as on pierreherme.com and in a selection of stores. This launch continues a long-standing tradition of gastronomic savoir-faire that Pierre Hermé has upheld with precision and creativity for decades in Paris.
An Exclusive Recipe with 100% French Ingredients
At the heart of this special collection is an original macaron recipe developed specifically for the occasion. It features a harmonious blend of Corsican lemon cream, New Caledonian vanilla ganache, and Grasse orange blossom. Each ingredient has been carefully selected for its French origin and its rich aromatic contribution to the tasting experience.
The tasting journey unfolds in three stages: the vibrant acidity of Corsican lemon provides an immediate and bright freshness; the Grasse orange blossom then unveils its delicate, subtly honeyed floral notes; finally, the New Caledonian vanilla offers a warm and creamy sweetness, culminating in a comforting and delicately fragrant finish.
Supporting French Craftsmanship and Heritage
By purchasing this macaron box, consumers directly support French manufacturing and contribute to the funding of cultural and historical heritage enhancement operations at the Elysée Palace, more than 300 years after its construction. This strong heritage dimension imbues the box with a significance that extends far beyond simple gustatory pleasure.
Pricing and Availability
The Elysée x Pierre Hermé Paris macaron box will be available at Maison Elysée, 88 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, on pierreherme.com, and in a selection of limited-edition boutiques. Individual macarons are priced at €3.40, while a box of 8 macarons ranges from €29 to €33, depending on the composition.
This initiative reflects a shared ambition to champion and promote what France has most uniquely to offer to the world, merging culinary artistry with national pride.
