A well put together, great class. It was a lot of fun with our instructor, and a good mix of getting to be creative within the directions and guard rails to ensure that we all were able to successfully make macarons. Even if you have made macarons before, this class is still worth going to!

This was a great time. It was well-organized and it was clear that they had done it before. You could select the color of your shells as well as the flavor that you wanted to make the filling. I did this with my 15yo niece and we both had a great time. Erica was a great teacher.

Not a chef

amydean1, Mar 2026
Making macarons was fun! I don’t think we had an actual chef though . She was nice but class was very basic and no added information, history, etc. Didn’t really learn much and were told the recipes would be given to us after. Macarons did not turn out great, they were overcooked it seemed. Also, class location changed the morning of the class which also meant we had to modify our plans to travel farther for the class. In short fun but not worth the money. Could have learned more from you tube videos or something.

Fun Making Macarons

The macarons class was informative and fun. It was a small group so there was plenty of individual attention.

The girl that ran it was good but we were late because there were no signs or anything if we were in right place that was very frustrating

Great experience!

My daughter and I loved our macaron class! Our instructor, Leslie, was wonderful and we were able to take home many macarons to share with family!

Barbara_M, Mar 2026
This was awesome. I was doubtful that my kids could actually successfully make macroons but they did and they tasted great.

Great class, terrible management

samantha_e, Feb 2026
The class itself and the instructor were great. My gripe is late the night before I got a text from management saying that due to an IT issue the class needed to be moved across town which would have been a huge inconvenience for the 5 people in our party. So I wrote back saying I would have to cancel (and really disappoint my kids) and then lo and behold the IT issue was resolved. I since learned this happens frequently with this company. So while we really enjoyed the class, management needs to understand that last minute changes should be kept to a minimum.

We had a wonderful experience learning from Lauren. She was wonderful at explaining each step and sharing her passion for baking with us.

Late cancellation

Sarah_O, Feb 2026
The operater canceled three hours before the class. I tried to be understanding but when they asked me to initiate the cancellation it felt very shady

Great afternoon in Paris - must do!

It was a fun interactive class. We learned everything we needed to know in making macarons. Highly recommend! I would take another class from them.

Excellent class! Instructor was very knowledgeable, patient & helpful. Even though we had difficult reaching someone a couple hours, would highly recommend.

Highly recommend!

Angela_E, Dec 2025
We had so much fun. All ingredients were pre-weighed to save time and eliminate measurement error. It was a perfect activity for my 10 and 12 year old.

Ann_V, Dec 2025
Our family loved this class! Lauryn was a wonderful instructor, and it was so fun to learn to make macarons. Great family activity.

Great class. Left with full box.

Gerard_B, Nov 2025
It was great. The time went by too quickly. It was a nice intimate group of 8 (a mother/daughter, myself and my husband, and a family with 2 little girls). It was a relaxed atmosphere with great instruction. We had a lot of fun and left with a full box of macarons each.

A must if you want to learn how to make macarons

Nanette_S, Nov 2025
Loved Nogo! A fun class learning all the steps to making authentic macarons. And we got to bring bake a lot back to our hotel. Plus you get the recipe to hopefully recreate (as close as possible😊) your macarons when you get home to impress your friends.

Great experience!

Jennifer_M, Nov 2025
The chef was knowledgeable and professional; she explained everything with clarity and patience. My daughter and I had an experience that I will cherish for a long time. Thank you for making it great!

Fun, Delicious, and Authentic Paris Baking Experience!

Julie_M, Oct 2025
I absolutely loved the Paris Macarons Small-Group Baking Class! The chef was friendly, patient, and explained each step clearly, making it easy to follow along even for beginners. The kitchen was charming and well-organized, and the small group size made the experience feel personal and hands-on. I learned great tips for perfecting macaron shells and fillings — and, of course, got to enjoy delicious results at the end. Highly recommend this class for anyone wanting a fun and authentic Parisian experience!

Great time making...

Diane_W, Oct 2025
Great time making macarons! They are delicious! Our chef Felix was knowledgeable and fun to learn from. Looking forward to trying to make them at home!

We were amazed!

Mary_H, Oct 2025
We didn’t know what to expect, but our chef was so welcoming and explained and helped us through the whole process. It was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend it to all and even those who have never baked!

A Good Time

Dennis_S, Oct 2025
We were a group of 4 (2 couples) and had a good time. Our teacher was Nogo and she gave us excellent instruction. We were able to select the color and flavor of our macarons. We each walked out with a box of 20 (a few with a defect or two). I would recommend this as a very good experience.

Great family friendly activity

Michelle_W, Oct 2025
I booked this experience for myself and my 10 year old daughter. It was absolutely perfect. Our instructor was great and the prepped ingredients made the process simple and fun! Our macarons turned out delicious. I highly recommend for a kid friendly activity in Paris. I think the ideal age would be 7 or 8 and up, but younger kids could participate with help.

Wonderful family class

Heather_B, Oct 2025
We had a wonderful class that was engaging for both kids (ages 7 & 10) and adults. Our instructor, Mateo, took us through the entire process step by step and we each had our own materials to work with. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning to make macarons and will be booking with the school again if we have a return trip!

Great family fun macaron session.

Fiona_A, Oct 2025
Great session for our family with 3 young kids. The process was well explained, fun and engaging. The atelier was well designed and easy to find. Would recommend to other families

Not really a Baking Class

Patricia_M, Oct 2025
This was a cute little activity! Great for any age. As for a baking class it was not an educational opportunity. No recipes handed out, no measuring, no explanation of the science of macaronage. Even broken cookies were explained away as the first use of the oven that day. Therefore not reliable. I came to learn the intricacies of macaroni and paid quite a bit of money to do so so I was not in the least bit impressed. The ad said drinks and snacks. But that was just a station in the hallway with water and coffee. No charm at all though the instructor was perfectly pleasant. This is a solid $40 experience at best.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the activity, and we’re sorry to hear it didn’t fully meet your expectations in terms of technical teaching. Our workshops are designed as fun and accessible experiences, but we understand your desire for more in-depth instruction. Your comments about the level of detail, the recipe handout, and the refreshment area are well noted and will help us improve. We’re happy that you found the instructor pleasant, and we hope to welcome you again for an experience more aligned with what you’re looking for. Kind regards, The Maison Fleuret Team
