Our chef was fantastic! Her energy was infectious and her skills excellent. The workspace was clean and tidy. We each got to make and bring home 22 macaroons! Steps were easy to follow. You work in pairs of two, so if you have an uneven group one person will be paired with someone outside the group. We definitely enjoyed trying our macaroons at 4am after the 10hour settling window. They also have a croissant baking class that our group is very interested to try our next time in Paris. I would recommend this class to everyone, even those with slim to no baking knowledge.

This was a fun class! Chef Leo was hilarious and very outgoing. He kept us entertained while also teaching us how to make macarons. He then sent us by email the recipe along with local Paris recommendations

Excellent and everything you would expect: Cordon Bleu trained pastry chef, highly organized, started and finished on-time, a proper facility (clean, bright, well-equipped), and most importantly fun and engaging. You never knew it was possible to make your own quality macarons until it’s done! I wish all Viator experiences were this good, and some others were mediocre.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re truly delighted to hear you found the Paris Macaron Baking Class to be excellent in every way — from the Cordon Bleu trained chef and organized timing to the clean, bright facility and the fun, engaging atmosphere. It’s wonderful to know you discovered you could make your own quality macarons and that the experience stood out so positively for you.
p/s: I am very touched by your honest review. Thank you so so much (Chef Leo)

The instructor, Vivian, was adorable! What I enjoyed most about the class was learning techniques. Recipes tell you what, but this class teaches you the small details that you can’t get from a book. I left almost 2 dozen macarons & my family loved them! Cannot wait to get home & make them for parties. Really a FUN couple of hours!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning the technique behind perfect macarons with Chef Vivian. It’s wonderful that you left not only with delicious treats to share, but also with skills you can use at home for many more sweet creations. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fun and flavorful class in Paris!

Great experience! We all loved making the macaroons and it truly was a “must do” in Paris. The macaroons were so delicious and the chef was exceptional and very helpful. We left with 22 delicious macaroons each and we can’t stop eating them.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great time in our macaron class and that you enjoyed both the experience and the sweet results. Twenty-two macarons each — what a delicious accomplishment!
We hope those tasty memories remind you of Paris, and we’d love to welcome you back for another baking adventure soon.

Marie is an absolute professional. The entire experience (for a non-baker) was fun and not stressful at all. I learned a lot and also picked up some very helpful tips on how to make the perfect macarons. We made black currant and white chocolate. You get to choose the flavors. I left with about 2 dozens cookies. Make sure you book early into your trip so you have time to eat them before you get on the plane.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the macaron class with Chef Marie and had fun discovering the secrets to perfect macarons. Black currant and white chocolate is such a delicious choice! We hope the sweet memories of Paris last forever with you.

We knew we wanted a macaron class while in Paris and this turned out great (if a little geographically inconvenient). We had Maria and a class of 8. She made the allegedly difficult art of preparing macarons seem simple, we had a blast, and left with way more than we imagined. I pictured a small box with around 4 per person. It was more like 20 each. We picked a color and flavor for each pair of bakers (I’m not sure how they’d handle a single or odd number). Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you had a fun time with Chef Maria and enjoyed discovering how approachable macaron making can be. It’s wonderful to hear you left with so many delicious creations to enjoy—definitely more than expected! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another pastry adventure when you’re next in Paris.
For single or odd numbers, we will pair you up with another participant or with the chef - it's a fun way to interact with another fellow baker and make new friends
Warm regards,

The class size was small which allowed for personal guidance and a lot of fun. My daughter and I enjoyed it.

The whole process of booking was really difficult, the experience was overpriced, and we ended up missing it because the directions we clicked on at the top of the email were wrong so we arrived late. Viator made no effort to even meet us half way on losing all that money plus the time and cost of getting out to the venue
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We are sorry to read that you were unable to join the class. We always strive to make our experiences smooth and enjoyable, and we provide the exact address and detailed directions in the booking confirmation to ensure guests can arrive at the correct location on time.
In this case, the information sent from our side was accurate, but it seems that the wrong address link was used when searching, which unfortunately resulted in a late arrival. As this is a live, hands-on pastry workshop with a strict start time, we are unable to admit participants once the class has begun.
Whenever guests have any difficulty on the way, we encourage them to contact us directly — our team is always ready to assist in real time to help avoid missing the activity.
We truly regret that you did not get to enjoy the class, and we hope you may have a chance in the future to experience making authentic French macarons with our Chef.
Regards,
Team Studio Pâtisserie

This class was worth every penny! Maria was an incredible teacher and my 14 year old son and I are excited to bring the art of macaron making home! We loved that we got to bring a box of our own macaron creations with us to enjoy later. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you and your son enjoyed learning the art of macaron making with Chef Maria. It’s wonderful that you can now bring these skills home and share your creations together – and of course, taking a box of your own macarons is the sweetest part! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more pastry fun in the future.
Warm regards,

Maria was absolutely amazing and the class was an absolute must do while in Paris! She made it so fun and easy for all of us.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Bonjour Lisa! Thank you so much for your sweet words — you’ve made my day! I’m thrilled you found the macaron class a “must-do” in Paris and that you had fun while discovering how easy and enjoyable it can be. It was such a joy baking with you, and I hope your kitchen back home will soon be filled with colourful, delicious macarons. You’re welcome back anytime for more sweet Parisian moments!
Peenal_P, Aug 2025
Chef was very nice and friendly and she gave clear instructions. Plenty of macaroons to make and gives recipe at end. My only recommendation is that everyone should have the ability to keep their own macaroons but share the pipet with the ganache filling so you have a variety to take home. We got there a few minutes late (chef kindly waited) and we got a ganache flavor our family of 4 would not have chosen from the 3 options and the idea of sharing the macaroons after everyone has touched them is not so appealing and others didn’t seem to want to share either with their chosen ganache flavors. If everyone kept their own macaroons and we shared the fillings when pipeting that would be much better.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Bonjour! Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for joining the macaron class with your family. I’m delighted to hear you found me friendly and the instructions clear, and that you enjoyed making plenty of macarons (and taking the recipe home to keep baking!). I also really appreciate your suggestion about sharing the ganache fillings while keeping each guest’s own macarons — it’s a creative idea, and I’ll certainly consider it for future classes to make the experience even more comfortable for everyone. I’m glad we could still start together even though you arrived a few minutes late, and I hope you’re now enjoying your own homemade macarons in your favorite flavors.
sdinakar, Aug 2025
This was such a fun experince! Our Chef Patissier has really perfected the macaron receipe and it was absolutely delicious. I'm not a big fan of macarons but I could not stop eating these - they are the best I've ever had AND I made them! The class itself is well paced and very informative while still keeping things light and fun. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Bonjour! Thank you so much for your amazing review — it makes me so happy to hear you enjoyed the class and the macarons so much (especially since you didn’t think you were a big fan… until now! 😄). I’m thrilled you found the recipe, pace, and balance of fun and learning just right, and it’s wonderful that you left with not only delicious treats but also the skills to make them yourself. I’d love to welcome you back anytime for more sweet creations and happy moments in the kitchen!
Lisa_Z, Jul 2025
Fun making macaroons. Tasted delicious. Easy to make. We enjoyed the class, but at the end the teacher insisted we trade half our macaroons with the other guests who also took the class. We were not comfortable with that as one of the other guests got hair in his batter. We said we would prefer not to trade and the instructor insisted. So we did and gave the macaroons away to a homeless person when we left. It was unfair for us to be told we had to give away our macaroons we made. If it was one or two it would have been fine but half was not appropriate especially after I told her we didn’t want to. Take the class some where else.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Bonjour, and thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that part of your experience left you feeling uncomfortable. While we sometimes encourage guests to exchange a few macarons as a way to enjoy each other’s creations, it should always feel optional, and I regret that you felt pressured. I also understand your concern about hygiene and we take such matters very seriously — We will be reviewing our class practices to ensure every guest feels at ease and confident in the process. I’m glad you enjoyed making and tasting the macarons, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention so we can improve for the future.
Mary_L, Jul 2025
It was a small class. Everything was simple and easy to understand. We also learned a few baking tips!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Bonjour Mary! Thank you for joining the macaron baking class and for your kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed the small group setting — it’s the perfect way to make sure everyone feels comfortable and can ask questions. I’m delighted you found everything simple, easy to follow, and picked up a few extra baking tips along the way. I hope you’re now filling your kitchen with beautiful and delicious macarons, and I’d love to welcome you back for more sweet creations!

Accessible even if you aren't a baker. Clear and easy to follow guidance and the expertise of working in a live kitchen with a trained pastry chef makes this experience a must do. And you get to take your 15 pastries per person with you.
