Paris Croissant Small-Group Baking Class with a Chef

Vasu, Sep 2026

Paris trip not complete without this experience!!

I love cooking classes and this was one of the best experiences I had in Paris. The school (Maison fleuret) was such a highlight that I booked another last minute macaron class with them that same day!! You get to be hands on with every step of the croissant making and you can take away many croissants back. Can’t recommend this enough. I feel this would be even more fun with friends and family

Macaron Mania, Oui!

The macaron class with Laeticia was absolutely wonderful! I have always been intimidated to try baking macarons and she made the entire experience comfortable. If you have the chance, don’t skip on this class. Bonus, you get to take home a bunch of yummy macarons.

Hands down our best experience in Paris

It is a pretty full day. You walk to the market and back and then you will stand most of the time preparing foods to cook and then cooking them. On the market trip you learn a lot of where things are sourced from and what that means. A stop at the fish monger and cheese shop for some history as well! There is something for everyone whether you are an experienced cook or have never set foot in the kitchen! I would be willing to bet everyone will walk away with a new skill or approach and for sure you will have a lot of fun. I know I personally did and I like to consider myself a good cook and someone that knows their way around the kitchen:) Everyone is a bit shy at first but by the time you sit down for your well deserved meal you have prepared and all worked on together —you are family! I would do this a hundred times over! Chef Fred was personable, knowledgeable and talented! You won’t regret this addition to your time in Paris!

Viator Exclusive: Local Cooking Class & Dinner with View of Nice

Karen_S, Sep 2026

Great evening experience in wonderful setting

We had a great evening up in a home in the hills of Nice at this cooking class with 10 other participants, who were all warm and friendly. Rebecca and Laurent were engaging hosts and Rebecca had us all engaged in prepping the Nicoise-style meal outside on their patio, which had a fantastic view. Plenty of good food, spirits. My husband doesn’t cook but thoroughly enjoyed his food-prepping too! One of our highlights during our time in Nice!

Great wine education!

It was amazing! Margaret Rose was incredibly knowledgeable and excelled in explaining not only the wines, but their origins, the specifics of regional requirements and what makes French wines uniquely French. I feel much more comfortable ordering a wine that I will truly enjoy. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Such a great way to spend time in Lyons! Thank you, Margaret Rose. We wish you the very best!

A Delicious Highlight of Our Paris Birthday Celebration

Guiding a group of six women around Paris for six days to celebrate one woman’s 70th birthday was an unforgettable experience, and one of her wishes for the trip was to take a cooking class. After reviewing several options on Viator, I selected Le Foodist because it combined a market experience with the cooking class, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. Everything about the experience was outstanding. Chef Paulo was not only knowledgeable and skilled in selecting the ingredients and guiding us through the preparation, but his energy, personality, and hands-on approach made the entire experience engaging and memorable. Of all the experiences we enjoyed during our time in Paris, this was one of the absolute favorites for the ladies. I would highly recommend Le Foodist to anyone visiting Paris, whether you are traveling with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or even traveling solo. It is a wonderful way to experience French food, culture, and the joy of cooking together.

Paris French Baking Experience - Bread/Croissant or Macaron Class

Lisa_B, Aug 2026

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.

Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons

Alex_L, Aug 2026

Very interactive and...

Very interactive and engaging! Ann made the class a great time and catered to the group whether you were an avid baker or first timer. We loved the small group size and intimate setting. After the class, we all got to sit down and enjoy our creations over coffee and tea. We took home over 50 macaroons!

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.

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!
