Paris French Bakery Experience Le Marais

gail_s, Oct 2026

We had a great time. We...

We had a great time. We were treated to coffee and a plate of freshly baked mini croissants and pane au chocolate. Then we went downstairs and upstairs to have some hands-on experience with baguettes, financiers and croissants. We left with plenty of goodies for later. We'll return to enjoy some of the other beautiful pastries this bakery offers.

Carlise_W, Oct 2026

Great (and yummy!) experience

I loved this! Pierre waa my guide, and he was very friendly and informative. I happened to be the only person on my tour, so I was sent home with LOTS of goodies. It was really interesting to learn about the differences in baguettes and the history behind them. The financiers were also delicious, particularly straight out of the oven.

Fun Macaron Class for Families in Paris

Brecken_V, Oct 2026

A Must-Do in Paris

Absolutely amazing experience! We brought our two 8 year olds and this class was perfect. Our instructor, Marie, was engaging, informative, helpful and fun. She was fantastic with the kids and made sure everyone was having a great experience. The class was a great size at 6 people (2 groups) and our macarons turned out perfectly. The class is very interactive, everyone helps mixing ingredients and then makes their own macarons. We received 7+ filling flavor options we could mix and match individually. It was one of the highlights of our trip and I would highly recommend for adults and kids!

Paris Cooking Class and Lunch with Wine plus Market Visit Option

Tammy_B, Oct 2026

Fantastic experience preparing a wonderful French meal

This cooking class, being longer than other 2-hour experiences, requires a time commitment. But for us, it was great. We went to the market and learned about how the local butcher is different than what we are used to. We also spent a good amount of time with the cheese monger booth, sampling different cheeses. Then we started preparing our meal with people volunteering for cutting vegetables, peeling and boiling the pears, preparing the meat, peeling and slicing potatoes, etc. The meat prep in particular was very enlightening to learn how to separate and remove the silver layer without losing a lot of meat. Plus, we had never heard of beef cheeks before. Certain things the chef did, such as preparing the ice cream. The beef was cooked in a stove-top pressure cooker. He was very knowledgeable and easy to understand as well as welcoming questions. Then all 12 of us plus the chef sat down at one big table to enjoy our meal. Definitely a great memory with a lot of learnings we will use in the future. It was a little pricey, but we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Very interactive and engaging! Ann made the class a great time and catered to the group whether you were an avid baker or first timer. We loved the small group size and intimate setting. After the class, we all got to sit down and enjoy our creations over coffee and tea. We took home over 50 macaroons!

Cheese and Wine Tasting in the Latin Quarter with Chef Alex

VPs_V, Jan 2026

Great family friendly experience with excellent host.

Meeting point for the tour is a bit confusing at first but it’s really fine once you figure it out. The meeting point is near a metro station and you take a short walking tour toward Alex’s restaurant. It’s actually really nice to see the neighborhood but just know you will be outside for the first 15 minutes or so and do some walking and standing outside. Overall, this is an excellent experience. It’s family friendly and you will enjoy a fair amount of wine and cheese. Alex is outstanding! Be ready to interact and have fun with your group. I DON’T recommend doing this tour right after you get off the plane from the USA as some people do. You will want to be rested so you can enjoy this to the fullest.

Paris French Cuisine Small Group Cooking Class with Lunch

Jennifer_M, Dec 2025

A Deliciously Unique Experience

Chef Carole was so lovely to open her home to my daughter and I. She showed us how to make some traditional French holiday recipes that were absolutely delicious and we both felt like we could replicate them when we get home. She went over the ingredients in great detail, letting us know where they were from and how the flavor profiles worked together. As people who don’t usually “dabble” in the kitchen, we are now inspired to do so together more. Thank you Chef Carole for the truly amazing and unique experience!
