What are people saying about Paris

Amanda_B, Jul 2026

Super fun family activity

It was a wonderful tour of a bustling bakery, with many valuable hands on opportunities for everyone to make baguette, financiers, and to roll croissants. We left a bag full of delicious baked goods! Highly recommend. Also the baker who led our tour was so friendly and we learned a ton.

Paris Macarons Small-Group Baking Class with a Chef

Jeffrey_a, Jul 2026

Phenomenal Macaron Class

We always try to book a cooking/baking class whenever we visit another country. This small-group macaron class was exceptional! Leslie guided us expertly through the process. Although some of the steps were done for us (for the sake of time and precision, I'm sure), it didn't diminish the experience at all. We had all the right tools, lots of options for colors and flavors, and a perfect amount of humor mixed in to make this a lot of fun. On top of everything, the finished product (about 30 macarons EACH!) was beautiful and delicious. In fact, I absolutely believe (not being hyperbolic!) that our macarons were superior to several we bought from local shops! The recipe they shared with us looks daunting (11 pages!), but includes all the fine details to attempt another batch on our own. This one is a MUST-DO on your list of Paris activities. There's no way you'll be disappointed.

One of my favorite experiences in Paris!

I was so excited to take this class and it did not disappoint. Our instructor was efficient and kind while being funny at the same time. The class is well organized and keeps moving despite all the steps needed to make a croissant. You also get to go home with eight pastries which is amazing. Highly recommend this class.

Paris Croissant and Breakfast Pastry Class with a French Chef

Tom_O, Jul 2026

Easily one of the highlights of our Paris trip

My wife and I took the Paris Croissant and Breakfast Pastry Class with Gail and it was one of the highlights of our time in Paris. The class was very well organized and Gail is an excellent instructor. What we appreciated most was her insight into the small tips and techniques that can make the difference between an okay pastry and a great one. She explained the “why” behind each step clearly and shared practical advice that went beyond just following a recipe. Gail is patient, kind, and especially good at helping people who need a bit more support. She did this in a way that never singled anyone out... just quiet, encouraging guidance that made everyone feel comfortable and capable. The atmosphere stayed relaxed and enjoyable the whole time. Highly recommend this class if you want more than a tourist experience. You’ll leave with better skills, a great breakfast and a real sense of how French pastry is made. Thank you, Gail!

Great class, great croissant- a MUST DO

Leslie was incredible- the class is informative, inviting and personal. It felt as if we where in her home kitchen making them with her, she was incredible; the croissants where amazing and I couldn’t recommend this class more. An absolute must do while in Paris.

Montmartre Walking Food Tour is a Must!

This is an absolute must to immerse yourself in French history, culture and food. Our guide Julie, was absolutely amazing, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. Not to mention warm and personable which made the experience comfortable and more memorable! Food choices truly reflected the heart of Montmartre. It showcased the diversity of fresh ingredients from the region. Let’s not forget the wine. Great selection that represented France! We enjoyed a glass of white and red, which were delicious. We highly recommend this tour!

This was absolutely...

This was absolutely perfect! Amazing communication, preparation, and organization throughout. Clementine taught our class and we would absolutely take another with her again! My 6 year old daughter had so much fun! Our macarons were super tasty and loved how many options we were given, as far as colors and filling (we picked pink and purple with a tinge of blue, with Biscoff being her top preferred flavor but I also enjoyed strawberry and white chocolate). It was super easy for my kid to follow along and she loves the certificate they give at the end along with a recipe. Highly, highly recommend this must do experience!

Lovely time at the bakery

Had a great time with mum at the bakery. David was a great instructor and helped us make lovely financiers and baguettes that we later had at home. We forgot to take a photo of the financiers recipe, is it possible to get it somehow? We came back from Paris with baking trays just for that.

Luc was absolutely...

Luc was absolutely amazing! He took us to a charming local market to gather all the ingredients for the day, and we also stopped by a delightful cheese shop where we learned about the history of different cheeses. Luc made the entire process of preparing a three course meal feel fun, easy, and seamless. It was such a memorable experience to share with my daughter. We will definitely do this again on our next trip to Paris!

Excellent experience of a French bakery

We spent a fabulous 3 hours with our guide Paula, who was kind and welcoming and very knowledgeable. We were given a free drink and pastry on arrival, then we spent time in the kitchens learning how to make baguettes, financiers and croissants. We were given the opportunity to get hands on and we were given lots to take home. There were only 3 of us on this tour (we did Sat afternoon at 13:30) so lots of time and space for questions and to get to know each other. We highly recommend this tour!

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!
