## Story

**According to the Del Mar Times****,** **Le Macaron French Pastries** **has opened their first shop in Carmel Valley, where they’re busy serving up over 20 flavors of their authentic and colorful French macarons, along with gourmet chocolates, French gelato and European style coffee.**

**In partnership with her husband, owner Astha Saini is excited to share a piece of France with the residents of her community and frequenters of San Diego’s new One Paseo shopping mall. Despite this being the artist’s first foray into the food scene, Saini knows the importance of quality pastry. She told the Del Mar Times, “It has to be the right quality of macaron. Some people can make beautiful shapes but then you take a bite and see that it’s very crisp and not chewy. You want your macaron to have the chewiness to it.”**

**Le Macaron French Pastries** **was founded in 2009 by mother-daughter duo Rosalie and Audrey Guillem to bring a taste of France to America, and to fill a gap in the pastry segment as the first concept to focus on the macaron. Today, the brand has more than 60 locations across 15 states.**
