How does Secret Paris Ranking work?

Secret Paris selects the very best french products for your satisfaction. We are extremely jealous of the exclusive french or parisian quality of the items you may buy for yourself or offer to your dear ones!

Therefore, at Secret Paris, we keep a strict ranking of shops and eateries after three criteria:

quality (because, when we like it, we want to keep it forever)

french tradition (because we want to perpetuate centuries of excellency)

exclusivity (Why buy in Paris an item you will find anywhere else in the world?)

Our ranking system goes from One Eiffel (great quality but available worldwide) to Five (genuine french product).


Ladurée is no longer an “exclusive-parisian” gourmet address!

Sad news! The famous parisian Macaron maker, Ladurée, keeps extending worlwide. The french pâtisserie, founded 1862, opened in may 2011 a new shop abroad, this time in NYC! Like sugar dissolves in water, another parisian jewel chooses deliberately to become a chain in a globalized world…

Ladurée loses the lead to Gérard Mulot, followed by Pierre Hermé in Secret Paris Ranking.

BUT!… if Secret Paris takes you to the left bank of the Seine, ask Chris Lomon for a pause at the outstanding salon de thé Ladurée. A marvel!
