Where to get macarons?

My very first Macaron was from Sadaharu Aoki in Paris.
I didn't know back then but he's the one who made Green tea macaron so popular in Paris.

Last March when I went to Tokyo, I happened to find Sadaharu Aoki's store in Marunouchi. Of course I wouldn't miss the chance to try his macarons again.

I also made some macarons in my baking class last year.

There is also a great place to get macarons in Venice Beach, California.

Rose and Green tea macarons

Well, if you are in Wine Country, Bouchon is the best place for this little French cookie. (Although Bouchon's are twice bigger than most others.)

In San Francisco, you can get them at La Boulange, Miette and Patisserie Phillipe.

My mission is trying the best macaron in every city I visit.
Is it mission impossible?
