Award-Winning Paris French Bakery Experience — Le Marais, 4th Arr

Krystina_H, Jun 2026

Wonderful kid friendly experience!

This was such a fun thing to do with my kids (ages 8 and 14). We learned how to make baguettes, financiers and croissants. The ingredients and dough were prepped ahead for us since it’s a short class - perfect amount of time for kids. Arthur and Penelope were wonderful guides, shared lots of knowledge, and had my kids laughing. Highly recommend!

An incredible baking class!

This class was a dream for anyone who loves cooking or baking. We learned so much about the culture and history of praline and other local dishes in Lyon. This was such a unique way of experiencing local cuisine and I will remember this trip for a lifetime. Thierry was delightful and put so much energy into the class. We had so many goodies to enjoy afterwards and to bring home as souvenirs. I would absolutely recommend this class as a way to experience Lyon hands-on!

Great baking class

The class is wonderful. Pierre was our instructor and he explained a lot about the professional bakery and equipment. We learned how to form a baguette and make a financier. Best yet, we were able to bring our baked goods back with us. We were also taught how to properly roll a croissant. It is a very hands on class and Pierre will answer any questions you might have.

Amazing Sweet Crêpe Cooking Class Paris

Catherine_S, Jun 2026

Don't miss this experience!!

This is a MUST DO while in Paris! Stephane is an expert crepe chef, and now, so are we!! His enthusiasm for his craft is evident and the entire experience was extremely entertaining and incredibly informative! All three generations in our group (ages 18, 51 and 78) truly LOVED this experience and the delicious crepes that we created! Plan your travel as Montmatre can be tricky to navigate from the heart of Paris. Also, plan to be there all 3 hours(or a bit more). You won't want to leave a minute early! We cannot wait to make crepes for all of our friends now that we are home! If you are going to Paris, put this on your list!!

Viator Exclusive: Local Cooking Class & Dinner with View of Nice

A Sublime Evening in Nice

Rebecca and Laurent were very welcoming in their beautiful home with spectacular views. I enjoyed their story of living in a family home surrounded by other family members. The food we prepared was delicious (onion tart, ravioli in butter sage sauce and lemon tiramisu - YUM!). The conversation with our hosts and fellow students was delightful. If I had time I would do it again.

Paris Evening Cooking Class French Dinner and Market Visit Option

Debra_T, May 2026

“The art of French cooking”

My husband and I always take a Cooking Class when we travel to different countries. Paulo was our chef who guided our class through out the evening. He was very knowledgeable in the art of cooking and taught us a few different techniques which we did not know in all our years of cooking. Also, the market we were supposed to go to to buy the foods was closed due to a holiday in Paris. He was quick on his feet to find a different market, which was even better than the one we were supposed to go to. We had a very enjoyable evening, Met new friends, and our dinner was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.

Paris Cooking Class and Lunch with Wine plus Market Visit Option

Jane_B, May 2026

A very fun informative day with Frederic

We had time to kill before an evening flight and signed up for the cooking lesson (would have liked to go on the market tour before hand but couldn’t get there in time). Frederic was so much fun and taught me so much even though I consider myself a good cook. We participated in all three courses: sautéed mushrooms; salmon with beurre blanc, scalloped potatoes with lots of nutmeg, and glazed carrots and cucumber balls; and a poached pear with chocolate sauce and home made vanilla ice cream. Rarely have I seen people make cooked cucumbers which I do love. Fredric was not only knowledgeable about the food and wine but also fielded questions that we posed that were all over the board. He imparted a sense of French cooking as well as wine by region. He had a good sense of humor and made the day very entertaining. I learned new techniques in regard to how to use a whisk properly to make an emulsion as well as how to properly layer scalloped potatoes. Because of his personality, the time went too fast, but we left we a full stomach and gratitude for our day with Frederic.

Fun Macaron Class for Families in Paris, Award Winning

Macarons Magic

This was the perfect last day activity for our family. Erica was a wonderful instructor. She was very knowledgeable and excited to share her knowledge of French pastry which was not confined to macarons. My 10 year old loved it and was so proud of her macarons she shared them with her friends at school when we returned home. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

Butter and cheesemaking Workshop with Wine and Cheese Tasting

Dana_A, Mar 2026

Our guide was Agate and...

Our guide was Agate and she was so kind and funny and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed being able to make both cheese and butter in a group setting, everyone in the group was so kind! We all made one pot of cheese but made different kinds of butter, my group made demi-salty and it was the perfect amount of salty. We got to take home cheese and butter to enjoy on our own!

French Baking Class in a Local Montmartre Bakery

Cheryl_R, Jan 2026

Great lesson in the history of French Baking.

David shared such wonderful history about the Baguette, Financier, and the croissant. He was super patient with letting me ask many questions and he took the time to answer them all. You will get covered with flour, so should wear layers, with a short sleeve shirt underneath. This is a working bakery, which is advertised as a plus, as opposed to taking a class in a school. It is fascinating to learn about the history of this particular bakery and how it operates. The downside, of being in this setting, is that the baking area is quite small. Fortunately, my husband and I were the only two taking the class. I am very thankful that it was not cancelled! Honestly, I cannot imagine how the area can fit 8 people, with each being able to get "hands on" experience. Speaking of hands on. Note that this is a working bakery that turns out 600 baguettes each day. The dough we use has already been mixed and kneaded and proofed. So, you will not learn how to knead dough. You will learn how to shape the baguette and the croissant. We did actually make the financier! And they were delicious! As was the hot baguettes, fresh from the oven. Since it was the two of us, we had the very good fortune of leaving with a bag of financiers and baguettes! Although they almost didn't make it to the metro station lol
