Macarons, even in France, are a delicacy on the slightly expensive side. The cost differs from location to location but they are definitely worth splurging on once in a while. Local or chain bakeries sell them at a lower cost whereas artisanal or high-end pâtisseries can price them higher for their quality, craftsmanship, and flavors. On average, a good macaron can cost anywhere between $2-4.
