Our celebration Meringaie’s 10th Anniversary
October 27, 2025: 10 years already!
For ten years, pavlova has found its way into the hearts—and onto the plates—of Parisians!
When we opened our first shop in 2015, the bet was bold: to introduce pavlova, a light, fruity dessert with a crispy yet melting texture, still unknown in France. Originating from the other side of the world, pavlova is a tribute to the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who was adored during her tour of Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. But which of these two countries truly invented this sweet cloud? The mystery remains unsolved…
What is certain is that Marie and Benoît have made it their specialty, and in just ten years, La Meringaie has become the go-to place for pavlova in Paris! Their pavlova was even named the best by the show Très Très Bon in September 2025.
A story of entrepreneurship… as a family!
Behind La Meringaie are Marie and Benoît, a couple united by their love of pavlova… and adventure. Both dreamed of entrepreneurship, driven by a shared passion for pastry and an unapologetic sweet tooth. For Marie, pavlova is more than just a dessert: it’s her signature, a moment of celebration, an obvious choice.
So, with Benoît, they decided to create their own, guided by three principles: a crispy yet soft meringue, tasty whipped cream, and fresh fruit. From the very first days, their adventure took on a family feel, and ten years later, the family has grown.
Behind every shop window, there’s a dedicated team that keeps the heart of La Meringaie beating every day !
The values that are dear to us
For the past ten years, La Meringaie has been, above all, a story of delightful: a crispy-yet-soft meringue, light whipped cream, fresh fruit… and with every bite, the magic happens.
Behind this apparent simplicity lies a constant pursuit of excellence: precise craftsmanship, a love for doing things right, and an uncompromising quest for quality and authenticity.
But La Meringaie is also a beautiful journey of humility, sharing, and togetherness. For ten years, our desserts have brought friends and families together.
Our greatest joy? Bringing joy. With generosity and delight. That almost guilty pleasure—like a finger sneaking into the jam jar.
Our vision for the years ahead? To continue making La Meringaie the go-to name for pavlovas and meringue-based delights.
Our mission remains the same: to offer desserts that are fresh, accessible, and more indulgent than ever!
A new book for our 10th anniversary...
In April 2025, the year of La Meringaie's 10th anniversary, Marie Stoclet Bardon unveils her second book: “Pavlovas & Meringues – 50 Crispy, Chewy & Melt-in-Your-Mouth Recipes.”
Few ingredients, stunning results—but a technique that can sometimes feel intimidating. That’s where Marie becomes the fairy of meringues: step by step, she shares her tips, her photographed know-how, and her delicious recipes.
Page after page, readers discover the different types of meringue, piping techniques, and how to create pavlovas for every season. The book also features other exquisite meringue-based desserts—like vacherin, Mont-Blanc, fraisier, and merveilleux—as well as miniature treats like macarons and marshmallows… for moments of pure joy.
…The renovation of rue de Lévis…
This is where it all began... at 21 rue de Lévis. An address close to our hearts, the starting point of this slightly crazy meringue-filled adventure. Ten years later, it was time to give it, too, a fresh new start.
This summer 2025, La Meringaie’s historic boutique is getting a makeover. Brighter, more open, more delicious. The space has been entirely redesigned to welcome you even better, while staying true to the spirit of the house.
Our pavlovas and other delights are now showcased more beautifully than ever, and customers can enjoy watching the pavlovas being dressed up, in full transparency.
This renovation is also our way of celebrating 10 sweet years.
Because while meringue may be timeless, our desire to surprise you, to welcome you, and to delight you — that’s always evolving.
So whether you’re a longtime regular or just passing through, step through the doors of 21 rue de Lévis… and rediscover our boutique as if it were your very first visit.
... And a surprising Christmas !
To close this anniversary year, we’re preparing a Christmas full of surprises… and treat !
As the holiday season approaches, our boutiques will don their winter attire, set in a decor designed to amaze you, with that touch of whimsy and elegance we hold dear. But what truly awaits you are brand-new creations, unexpected flavors, bold and joyful combinations—always centered around our iconic pavlova.
Think you know meringue? Let yourself be surprised. This Christmas 2025, we’ve imagined it with a dash of madness, a sprinkle of sparkle, and always the highest standard of taste. Get ready to be amazed—by the recipes, the textures, the inspirations. For our 10th anniversary, our heart is set on delighting you, but above all, on continuing to surprise you.
A La Meringaie Christmas like you’ve never tasted before!
Our soft 123 Pavlova meringue
In 2019, La Meringaie took a new step by launching 123 Pavlova, a range designed to make pavlova accessible to everyone. Available in over 300 outlets, including Monoprix and Grand Frais, our kit allows you to create a pavlova in just 5 minutes by simply adding whipped cream and fresh fruit.
The soft meringue, at the heart of this kit, is made from simple ingredients: whites egg, sugar, salt, vinegar, rice flour, and xanthan gum, for a light and melt-in-the-mouth texture. Less sweet than a traditional meringue, it provides the perfect base to enjoy seasonal variations.
With 123 Pavlova, we invite you to creativity and sharing. Everyone can personalize their pavlova according to their desires: red fruits in spring, citrus in winter, or chocolate topping for the more indulgent. This range embodies an even more friendly approach to pavlova, true to our values!
