Oh, Marcy, I'd rather a few macarons from Hermés.
If the La Mere is not the shop you can always ask Michael on his forum, destinationparis on msn.

Mimi,
I think I'll do BOTH!!

I couldn't go to Paris without sampling LOTS of macarons, but this shop was so charming, and had wonderful violet candy that I want to take home as a gift for my sister, who loves it.

They are wonderful for decorating cakes and to top a scoop of ice cream.

Thanks,
Yes, I could email him, but I'm pretty sure that A La Mère de Famille is the right one.

This board is amazing as always for coming up with information quickly!

I'm not implying that these are at the same fine candy level, but there is a store in New York that sells all kind of baking supplies including items for professionals, and they have candy flowers and dragees for decorating.
New York Cake and Baking Distributor
