Paris French Baking Experience - Bread/Croissant or Macaron Class

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.

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.

Our chef, Leticia was amazing! Her welcoming smile, her love for baking, stories, and guidance made the class fun while educational. She made sure that we understood why we did certain steps in a particular order by explaining the outcome if we didn't follow the sequence. I will remember this class and the techniques I learned for a very long time!

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!
