Maison des Soeurs Macarons

Located at 21 Rue Gambetta, in the pedestrian district just a stone’s throw from Place Stanislas, the Maison des Sœurs Macarons—founded in 1793—is now run by Nicolas Génot, along with his children Guillaume and Charlotte. This family-run business is the sole keeper of the secret and carefully guarded recipe for the authentic Macaron de Nancy: the Macaron des Sœurs. This delicate pastry, a blend of French almonds, egg whites, and sugar, was passed down from two sisters (Marie Morlot and Marguerite-Suzanne Gaillot) of the Benedictine Community of the Blessed Sacrament. The Macaron des Sœurs is characterized by its beautiful cracked surface, a flavor of ground almonds, and a shelf life of 15 days. Maison des Sœurs Macarons is also the first gourmet company in Lorraine to have received, in 2012, the EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) state label—a recognition awarded by the Ministry of the Economy to French companies with rare, artisanal expertise of the highest quality. As a producer of refined confections, Maison des Sœurs Macarons offers the authentic “Macaron des Sœurs,” the “Bergamote de Nancy”—which has held IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) status for over 30 years—as well as mirabelle plum specialties. It also crafts chocolates and artisanal fruit jellies. All these delicacies are available in-store and online, with shipping available both within France and internationally. The Macaron des Sœurs, the “Pearl of Lorraine,” the bergamot-flavored Pain de Gênes cake, the spice and mirabelle plum cake, the Florentines, and the bergamot candies all bear the “Nancy Passions Sucrées” label.
