MACARON / Tricolore

I had gone to Place Bellecour, in the center of town, incidentally to see the damage, but more importantly to catch a glimpse of these macarons (meringue-based cookies) done in the colors of the French national flag (sometimes referred to as tricolore). As those of you who have tried Dalloyau or Laduree macarons before, you might know that these light, crispy meringue cookies come in yellows, pinks (strawberry or raspberry), chocolate or even purple (cassis), but it's not everday you see blue macarons.

From what I understand they were selling these until the end of the elections, which finished yesterday. So I was lucky to get this last shot off before they removed it from the shop window!
