The beloved macaron appears to be among the most sophisticated treats a bakery or cafe could offer. It’s simple, elegant, and refined.

Peek under the confectionary hood, however, and you’ll discover that the artisanal macaron is rarely very artisan at all, but rather a product of industrial machinery and efficiency. In the pursuit of profitability, factories produce today’s macarons—not bakeries.

Our premium macaron. Generously sized and available in 20+ flavors including Vanilla, Raspberry, Chocolate, Green Tea, Orange Truffle, Birthday Cake, Lemon, Salted Caramel, Earl Gray, Pistachio, Rose, Blueberry Lavender, Red Velvet, Coffee, Cookies & Cream, Passion Fruit, Pumpkin Pie, Chocomint, Coconut and Lemon Berry.

My name is Bernard Becker, and I am the co-founder and co-owner of Duverger. Today, I want to share the story of our company, a story that began over 20 years ago when my wife Claire and I lived in Paris.

“We were just typical French folks,” I often start off when I dive into our Duverger story.
