What are people saying about Paris

Tara_A, Aug 2026

This was such a cool...

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.

Paris Croissant Small-Group Baking Class with a Chef

Lisa_C, Aug 2026

Buttery Layers and Even Better Instruction

I recently took a croissant-making class with Lancelot and it was fantastic from start to finish. Lancelot was incredibly informative, walking us through every step — laminating the dough, folding technique, shaping, and proofing — with clear explanations that made even the trickier parts feel manageable. Beyond the technical skill, Lancelot was friendly, helpful, and genuinely fun to work with. The class had a relaxed with welcoming vibe. Lancelot was always ready with a tip or a laugh to keep things moving. I left the class with a batch of golden, flaky croissants and — more importantly — the confidence to make them at home. I'm already excited to give it a try myself and family and friends are excited for my new skill. Highly recommend this class to anyone who loves pastry and wants a fun, hands-on way to learn from someone who clearly loves what they teach.

This market and cooking...

This market and cooking experience was absolute perfection! Chef Fred was incredibly amazing, highly knowledgeable, and brought a vibrant, charismatic energy that made the entire class unforgettable. He has a rare talent for communicating complex culinary techniques in a way that made total sense to everyone, regardless of skill level or age. Exploring the market for fresh ingredients was an incredible start, and the hands-on instruction that followed was clear, engaging, and genuinely fun. We left with new skills, a full stomach, and wonderful memories. Thank you

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 Evening Cooking Class French Dinner and Market Visit Option

Beverley_T, Jul 2026

Beyond just Dinner

The market visit (was relocated to La Grande Épicerie du Paris) enhanced the dinner by participating in selecting vegetables and cheeses. Our chef Frédéric was very droll and knowledgeable. He did his best to ensure each participant was given attention. I learned a number of new techniques making chicken ballotine and glazing small balls of cucumber and carrots using a special tool. Was impressed by the emphasis on hand and kitchen hygiene. Frédéric welcomed questions throughout the evening. He asked participants questions about the dishes as they were prepared to ensure we were engaged and to also aid in the learning process. At the end of the evening, at my request, he provided a list of places to buy équipement and spices frequented by professional chefs but open to the public. I visited the area the next day and got to experience another part of Paris I hadn’t been to before. It was an unexpected bonus. Wine was offered on arrival and throughout the meal. We ate our entrées which were mushrooms in a cream sauce while other parts of the dinner were cooking - the ratatouille and red wine sauce for the chicken and ice cream was in the machine. We then went to kitchen to do final prep and plating of the main dishes and again repeated the process for dessert. We sat together and chatted after the meal, not leaving until after 11 pm. It was a true experience, not just a meal.

Paris French Baking Experience - Bread/Croissant or Macaron Class

Sarah_C, Jun 2026

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!

Paris Wine Tasting plus Cheese Lunch with an Expert Sommelier

Christie_H, Feb 2026

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!

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!
