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

The Foodist exceeded expectations!

Our class with Paolo was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. We learned a lot about cheese, cooking techniques, and French food regulations and protections. Paolo made every element of our experience interesting and useful. The market tour was especially enjoyable. Would definitely do this again.

Paris French Bakery Experience Le Marais

Jasmine_M, Sept 2026

Great workshop

Absolutely brilliant, especially for families. The dough is already made for the baguettes and croissants, but you do get to shape and bake it. You don’t get to take the croissants with you as it takes over a day for the process to take place, but you do get to eat the tasty ones in the shop. It is great to see how a bakery operates. Our instructor Nina was welcoming and informative. We enjoyed our baguettes with our picnic near the Eiffel Tower!

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!
