Every March 20, pastry lovers unite for Macaroon Day, a cherished tradition since 2005. Spearheaded by renowned patissier Pierre Hermé and Relais Desserts, this event raises funds for Vaincre la Mucoviscidose, France's leading cystic fibrosis charity. The concept is delightfully simple: donate and receive your favorite macaroon.
Exclusive macaroons for the occasion
For this milestone tenth anniversary, top Relais Desserts members have crafted limited-edition macaroons to tempt and inspire generosity. At Wittamer, savor Pivoine—a raspberry shell encasing Tahitian vanilla cream and a raspberry jelly heart, finished with elegant detailing. Plus, enjoy a 10% discount on any purchase.
Maison Sève draws from the charity's green logo for a zesty ephemeral macaroon featuring lime and kaffir lime. Christophe Roussel introduces strawberry-jasmine, a harmonious blend of fruit and floral notes.
Many Relais Desserts partners are offering exclusive tastings. Discover all details and participating pastry chefs here.
