Top Paris Cooking Classes - page 3

Discover what makes French pastries truly special by stepping inside a working Parisian boulangerie — not just to watch, but to bake like the artisans do. Proudly named Viator Experience Award Winner in 2023 and 2024, this tour is recognized among the top-rated family experiences for guest satisfaction and authenticity. During this 2-hour experience, you and your family will learn how iconic French breads and pastries are created from scratch, in the very place where locals buy their daily baguettes. Unlike tourist-style demos, this visit offers real behind-the-scenes access to the production area — where dough is mixed, folded, laminated, and baked before sunrise. Children and adults roll up their sleeves to: • Shape baguettes and rustic breads • Roll their own croissant Kept intentionally small (max. 9 guests), this award-winning experience is intimate, family-friendly, and deeply authentic — a chance to step behind the counter and access a world normally hidden from the public.

My class takes 1 hour. It is open to beginners, I am here to help you! All materials and ingredients are provided. Studio overlooking quiet courtyard and Paris rooftops. Recipe sheets and details on pastries. Personalized course with a maximum of 2 people. Tasting with tea, coffee or rooibos. A coffee table is available for children. I like customer contact, meeting people from other countries (courses in English too). Come make madeleines and redo them at home, the atmosphere is good. The apartment right in the center, easy access. I give personalized advice on the neighborhood (Vivienne gallery, garden of the royal palace...) and on the pastry shop in Paris. You leave with your madeleines in a cake box. Pastry is very fun and at the same time manual, but above all delicious.

Nothing says Paris like French wine, but most wine tastings include meat and cheese pairings—making it tough for vegans to partake. Specially designed with vegans in mind, this private one-hour wine tasting treats participants to three glasses of wine straight from the producers themselves, along with a spread of plant-based snacks. Tastings take place in the trendy 11th arrondissement near Père Lachaise cemetery.

Denita_S, Aug 2026

5 stars for Maya!

This was an absolutely amazing experience! Maya (hopefully I spelled it right) was a great guide and walked us through every step. She gave us a little history behind each treat we made as well as interactive conversation throughout the excursion. I would absolutely book with her again!

Great pastry class

Very well run establishment. Very informative. Prompt and on point with instructions Lancelot was an excellent instructor.

He was very knowledgeable and engaging with a sharp wit. Highly recommend. And best of all, the croissants and other pastries we made turned out fantastic

Fun Macaron Class for Families in Paris

Laura_G, Aug 2026

Wonderful Paris family friendly activity!

We had such a wonderful time! Our instructor, Nelly, was friendly, kind, and patient. There was a small group of us so she was able to pay good attention to what we were doing and give us detailed instruction. The macarons are very tasty and we look forward to trying to make them at home ourselves. Would highly recommend this activity, especially if you have a young family.

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 Cooking Class and Lunch with Wine plus Market Visit Option

Leslie_B, Jul 2026

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

Croissant Baking Class, Mastering the Art with a Pastry Chef

Kelly_B, Jul 2026

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!
