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!

Fun Macaron Class for Families in Paris

Andrew_T, Aug 2026

Fun Family Baking Class in Paris

Our 3- and 8-year-old children love macarons and we saw this class as an opportunity for them to have an interactive and tactile experience while traveling so far away from home. We did not know we would be sharing the class with another family, but it worked out well as they too were visiting from USA and their children were very close in age to ours. Our instructor, Marie, was absolutely terrific. Her English was perfect, she was exceptionally patient with the children knowing exactly how to engage them and keep them focused, while guiding us to make delicious macarons. Allowing the kids to help measure & blend the dry ingredients, choose their own colors and flavors and teaching us all how to pipe our own shells, Marie really got the everyone to buy in to the whole experience. The kitchen is clean, modern and just the right size. Overall, we would return to learn other recipes from Marie and this business. Highly recommend!
