Ladurée, the Parisian tearoom based in Centria Mall in Riyadh, is famous for pastry creation and its iconic macaroons.

The story of the Ladurée macaroon starts with Pierre Desfontaines, second cousin of Louis Ernest Ladurée, who at the beginning of the 20th century first thought of taking two macaroon shells and joining them with a delicious ganache filling. 

With each new season, Ladurée pays tribute to its most famous creation by creating a new flavour, one of which will be available to be sampled by invited guests at World Luxury Expo.

Premium imported natural mineral water brand, evian, and its limited edition bottle designed by renowned fashion designer, Elie Saab, will be displayed at the event.
