We took the macaron class with Julie, 10/10 experience. Very intimate group as it was 4 of us, plus the instructor. Loved the 1-on-1 and the detailed attention we all received. A very good recipe for macarons and was one of my mom’s and I’s favorite experiences on our trip!

Definitely a top experience during our trip to Paris! Our instructor was very knowledgeable and passionate. Having a bite of fresh pain au chocolat fresh from the oven that we made with our own hands using fresh and top-tier ingredients, is absolutely heaven.

You start the tour with...

You start the tour with several pastries and a latte. The baker we toured with was fun, informative and excited about baking. It was a backstage pass to learn the operation of bakeries in Paris, very interesting. We did not really make anything ourselves but rolled dough and got to take home a bag of goodies. It was very enjoyable.

Wonderful experience- not to be missed

We had the best time with Fred, he was knowledgeable and encouraging. We got to shop for, then cook an excellent meal having so much fun with the group we were with, this event has been well thought out and truly gives a wonderful tour of the Latin quarter as well as a glimpse of French cooking. The recipes were also sent to us. I would highly recommend this experience.

Fun Macaron Class for Families in Paris

Fun Family Baking Class in Paris

Our 3- and 8-year-old children love macarons and we saw this class as an opportunity for them to have an interactive and tactile experience while traveling so far away from home. We did not know we would be sharing the class with another family, but it worked out well as they too were visiting from USA and their children were very close in age to ours. Our instructor, Marie, was absolutely terrific. Her English was perfect, she was exceptionally patient with the children knowing exactly how to engage them and keep them focused, while guiding us to make delicious macarons. Allowing the kids to help measure & blend the dry ingredients, choose their own colors and flavors and teaching us all how to pipe our own shells, Marie really got the everyone to buy in to the whole experience. The kitchen is clean, modern and just the right size. Overall, we would return to learn other recipes from Marie and this business. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Highlight of our trip.... and we did a lot. David is the best!!

Amazing experience in a beautiful (small) bakery. There were seven of us ages 3-60+ and everyone cited the experience as a highlight of our multi-country trip. David brought comedy and education throughout our visit. He took time to get to know each of the kids and upon learning one was interested in baking as a future profession, he spent extra time showing him aspects of the bakery and answering questions. We rolled baguettes, made financiers start to finish and practiced rolling croissants. We are still talking about the financiers and will do our best to make him proud with our US replication. We left with BAGS of bread and pastries that we were able to enjoy throughout our trip. HIGHLY recommend this experience. Note: any young children should be comfortable standing for a few hours and do well with listening and following directions.

This was such a cool experience! David, our instructor, was incredibly friendly, outgoing, and fun! We learned so much while working with him and an award winning local baker in the bakery. This was a highlight of our time in Paris and I would highly recommend this experience even for people like me, who don’t enjoy cooking.

Enjoyed this experience...

Enjoyed this experience with my daughter on her 24th birthday. The sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and approachable with questions. He paired each wine course with a cheese from the same region and explained how the flavor of the wines were enhanced with the different cheeses. A super fun and informative experience!

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!
