Pierre Hermé Paris macarons for tea time

Travelling the world in the wake of the great explorers, letting oneself be carried away by the vastness of landscapes, before succumbing to Pierre Hermé's macarons for a tasty world tour. On board all PONANT ships, you will be able to enjoy four macarons signed by the Picasso of pastry during tea time. Like an invitation to a gustatory journey, the iconic Ispahan and the Infiniment Pistachio, vanilla, and chocolate will be offered.

"The macaron is my favourite form of expression, it lends itself to limitless creativity. An infinite exploration ground, each flavour is an invitation to open up to the world, travelling from the lands of Iran to Brazil, then to Tahiti, Mexico, and all the way to Madagascar. I am delighted by this lasting partnership between our two Houses. We come together around a common mission, to awaken curiosity, offer a sensory journey, and a refined experience."
