We had the best experience at Miss Manon’s bakery tour! Our guide was amazing, he brought so much enthusiasm and was so welcoming! My family and I feel like true bakers now!! We left with a bag of delicious treats we baked! Enough that we handed it out to some people who needed it throughout the day. Definitely do this experience!!

We booked this tour last minute and were so glad we did. My daughter, 22 years old, and I are not bakers but David, our tour guide, made this tour fun and interactive. We got to help make, eat and take home financiers. We got to roll up croissants and make, bake and take home a baguette. Hats off to David and Merci for a wonderful tour!

This interactive tour of a very busy and established French bakery was so much fun! Our guide, Davide, was excellent, we learned about the two main types of baguettes and got to shape our own dough and have it baked for us. We made another treat as well but the real star of the tour was Davide. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and everyone on this small tour had a great time. French bakeries are very serious business - what a wonderful way to spend two hours!

Amazing experience with our family! Would highly recommend this to
Anyone wanting to enjoy behind the scenes bakery, and making bread, and pastries!

Went to a bakery and learned how to make bread, croissants and another delicious cake! We were downstairs where all the baking is done - so much fun and an interesting process! Need time and patience. It is a lot of work to be a baker!

Wonderful, engaging host, NuNu. So fun to practice and learn the techniques and processes. Amazing baguettes and pastries. Group of 5 was ideal size

Marie was personable and professional. She taught us a lot. We laughed and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. The bread making was fabulous.
Ross_H, May 2026
This was a very enjoyable activity due to our group facilitator David. We learnt a lot about how a French bakery works as well as got to make and eat whatever we had cooked.
Highly recommend this activity if you’re ever in Paris
Eric_B, May 2026
Great experience to see a French bakery. Not only did we see we also made. Learned how to make pastry dough, croissants, and baguette. David was knowledgeable and added to the fun of the experience. You start off with cappuccino and pastries which is included in the bakery shop.

Expérience superbe avec un guide formidable, David !
Nous avons appris à faire des financiers, des croissants, ainsi que des baguettes tradition et classiques.
Nous étions huit, et même si le cours se déroulait dans un espace un peu étroit et ancien, derrière une pâtisserie très populaire, il était très facile de voir, d’entendre, de participer et de rire avec le guide et le groupe, tous très joviaux !
Nous recommandons très vivement cette expérience magnifique et magique !

Superb experience with a wonderful guide, David!
We learned how to make financiers, croissants, as well as both traditional and classic baguettes.
There were eight of us, and even though the class took place in a somewhat small and older space behind a very popular bakery, it was still very easy to see, hear, participate, and laugh with the guide and the group, who were all very cheerful and welcoming!
We highly recommend this magnificent and magical experience!
Francesca_A, May 2026
David was a fun and engaging teacher. He explained the processes of making the baguettes as well as telling us/showing us the process for making ‘Financiers’ and croissants. Before the class, we were given a cup of coffee and some pastries - delicious! The people in the class were friendly and added to the enjoyment of the class. We left with some of the treats we made in the class. All in all, it was a great time!
Tedy_G, May 2026
Class ended over half hour early. Was not able to take croissants home :( not worth the money in my opinion.
Wendy_P, May 2026
I wanted to do a baking experience while in France and this tour delivered. Some of the tours just go to the bakery but we were hands on and our tour guide was great! Went home with financiers and 6 baguettes.
Marilee_B, May 2026
The bakery was a Great experience for us. Our guide, Mourad was outstanding, funny, and made you feel comfortable in the bakery. He called all of us by name so it felt more personalized. We made croissants, cookies, and different styles of bread. We are SO happy that we did this! The bakery is located in a part of the city that we had not explored yet so that was a great bonus.
Julie_A, May 2026
The experience was incredible! The food was amazing. Our guide Mohad was energetic and enthusiastic and truly made the tour unforgettable. I would recommend this tour to anyone! 12/10!!!
Mary_C, May 2026
It was a lot of fun baking baguettes and little cakes. Tuc and the baker David made it a great experience.
Colbert_M, May 2026
It was a disappointment. Instead of an award winning bakery we were sent to a ordinary decrepit bakery in a different neighborhood where we had a lackluster experience. They switched sites the day before our scheduled tour. Not worth the price we paid for an “award winning” experience.
Brett_G, May 2026
We had a great time. Mourad made it very fun. He got everyone involved. Taught us a lot about French baking!!!
Dawn_C, May 2026
Loved the bakery experience! Started with a delicious French breakfast of pastry and coffee. Irina was our tour guide and she was awesome. Learned so much about the bakery and the baking process. So fun to make our out pastries and baguettes! Highly recommend the tour and Irina!
Myriam_A, May 2026
Attended with friends, were able to shape bread and croissants. Worked with bread dough only. No recipe provided. Had a tasting of delicious croussants for breakfast. Was fun
Roger_W, May 2026
In just two hours, a small group of us learn how to create a croissant, make a french biscuit and a french baguette. We actually learnt to create, roll and cook the baguette. I devoured the 'traditional' baguette when I got to the hotel. Nono is a great communication and educator.
Gary_G, May 2026
So much fun and intresting! I wanted it to go on further and learn more about baking. Definitely going to take another class when we return to Paris one day. The guide was EXCELLENT!!!!
Dawn_O, Apr 2026
This definitely is a must do activity for someone who loves to bake or even for someone who loves to eat the baked goods in Paris. It was such a fun and memorable experience and it truly was a hands on activity and our guide was amazing and shared so many interesting facts about the bakery and how they make their delicious pastries. Please do not hesitate to do this truly remarkable experience. Thank you so very much for all the amazing memories.
Molly_C, Apr 2026
I booked this after reading other reviews and it was the perfect activity for our multi generational group! A great way to do something interactive while still getting to experience Paris! The baker could not have been more friendly and leaving with a bag full of treats (and recommendations on the local cheese store to visit to enjoy with them) was the perfect way to end the day.
Beth_L, Apr 2026
We had a great time learning about and helping to make 5 traditional French bakes. Brought home more goodies than we can eat in a day!
Karen_R, Apr 2026

What should other travelers know about this experience?
7 years old son and I loved it all. Breakfast, especially the hot chocolate was delicious. We enjoyed making the financier, croissant and baguette and seing the bakers working next to us. One of them even let my son help with the almond croissant he was preparing for the bakery. Definitely recommend.
Carolyn_B, Apr 2026
An amazing experience. We were so fortunate as there was only two of us. David was a brilliant tutor and he was very helpful, demonstrating how to make croissants enabling us to have a go. It was much easier than I thought. I have read some negative reviews about not actually able to make the dough. We were told at the beginning that the process takes 18 hrs which includes proofing. So please ignore those comments. My husband loved it as did I. Thank you
