Luxe French Bakery to Open in Georgetown: Report

French bakery Laduree plans to open a location in D.C., at the Ritz Camera store spot in Georgetown, according to a report by Georgetown Metropolitan.

The bakery is known for its fancy macarons.

The bakery will be located at 3060 M Street, according to the report. The Georgetown location will be the fourth in the United States (there are two in New York City and one in Miami), according to the company.

More about Laduree, from their Web site:

Parisian tea rooms’ history is intimately tied to the history of the Ladurée family. It all began in 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a miller from the southwest of France, founded a bakery in Paris at 16 rue Royale. In 1871, while Baron Haussmann was giving Paris a « new face », a fire in the bakery opened the opportunity to transform it into a pastry shop. The decoration of the pastry shop was entrusted to Jules Cheret, a famous turn-of-the-century painter and poster artist.
