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!!

Travelers praise the family-friendly, hands-on baking activities and the knowledgeable, patient guides who create an engaging and inclusive experience suitable for all ages. The delicious pastries and generous tastings, along with the chance to take home freshly baked goods, stand out positively. However, many note the tour pacing is rushed and often shorter than advertised, with poor planning, last-minute changes, and cramped spaces causing stress. Pricing is frequently considered excessive given these drawbacks.

We had a great time. We were treated to coffee and a plate of freshly baked mini croissants and pane au chocolate. Then we went downstairs and upstairs to have some hands-on experience with baguettes, financiers and croissants. We left with plenty of goodies for later. We'll return to enjoy some of the other beautiful pastries this bakery offers.
You don't actually make the dough/cake mixture yourself but, you do prepare the bread/cakes for cooking and you get to eat it which is lovely, take a bag to carry your bread away in.
Buyer beware. The tour guide didn’t show up. The tour company never confirmed or answered when I called. I have requested a refund and the tour company is still not responding to the Viator request. They will take your money and you’ll be lucky to get it back.
Mohad shared his expertise with humor and created an experience where strangers became friends. We also learned about making baguettes, boulle, madalines, and croissants. Yummy!!!
This is a fun activity for the whole family. The guide was great. We learned so much and even got to taste the food we made.
This was a really cool bakery tour, though it was more of a tour and quick demo than an actual baking class. It was a great experience if you want to see the inner workings of a bakery and shape some dough, however it is not a class where they teach you to make dough for baguettes and croissants. We did make financiers from scratch which was cool, though definitely a less difficult thing to make. I would definitely recommend it if you want a peek into the back of the bakery, and would suggest maybe a different experience if you want to learn to make croissants or baguettes yourself at home
This bread-baking class was absolutely fabulous! The instructor was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the art of bread making. The entire experience was wonderfully hands-on, informative, and fabulously fun from beginning to end. It was worth every penny and then some! I walked away with new skills, wonderful memories, and an even greater appreciation for the craft of baking bread. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique, enjoyable, and truly worthwhile experience!
This was a great time. Our guide, Morad, was very engaging and had lots of interesting fun facts about Paris bakeries as well as the one we were in. I would say the experience was closer to 1.5 hours than 2.
The instructor was very nice and funny he made the tour enjoyable, I thought we were suppose to learn how to make baguettes and croissants but we didn’t , we did learn how to roll croissants and roll out a baguette. But that was it. Although it was fun I really wanted to learn how to make these things from mixing ingredients to actually baking them
Amazing experience...highly recommend if you are hands on and not a museum person. We had the best time here!
Had an amazing time. Ended up just being four of us. Really enjoyed it. Very nice and friendly people. Highly recommend this!!!
Fantastic opportunity to be inside of a fully operational Bakery
Greeted with a coffee and some delicious pastries and of course croissants
Be aware if you’re mobility is a problem the narrow spiral stairs to the lower level could be a challenge
The class is for everyone and we made some fanciers cakes including making a brown butter on the hot plate for the mixture
And of course we ate the results straight out of the oven (so good)
Made and baked a traditional baguette as well as some round rolls
We took all our baking home and enjoyed them throughout the day
The baker was great and very good and patient and we worked through everything at a comfortable pace
So happy to have had the chance to do this
We had a 10 day trip and this was our favorite tour by far! We were at Miss Manon in Paris and Morad was our guide. WE LOVED THIS CLASS. Cannot recommend enough!! We were served a drink and plate of goodies, then taken through the bakery. Morad showed us everything and was incredibly entertaining, knowledgeable, funny and friendly. I definitely thought we'd be actually baking, but this was more of a tour and light baking experience. We were handed completed dough to make our food, but I still felt like I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Absolutely cannot recommend this enough!
Our host was wonderful, the best! The experience was educational and fun! The whole group worked well!
The as one of the best experiences we’ve had while traveling. Our teacher was incredibly skilled and so amazing with children 5 stars!!
This baking experience was amazing! The entire family loved it, and the tour guide was kind and engaging. Definitely book this tour when you’re in Paris!
The class was very overpriced for what we did. Its more of a roll a baguette and croissant class but you dont actually make anything from start to finish. The bakery seemed surprised when we showed up. The class shows 2 hours but we only started 30 minutes later and it ended in an hour. They did offer coffee and pastries on arrival but did not seem fresh. We like a class like this should cost maximum $30 per person. Very disappointed and feel like this was a waste compared to all our other tours and experiences in Paris.
Great experience seeing the behind the scenes operations of a FANTASTIC and real French bakery. Our instructor was really personable and we had a great time.
It was fantastic! We learned history, importance if bread in France, and where to get hood food. We made financiers, croissants and baguettes, we left with an entire bag of different breads. coffee and breakfast breads served before the baking adventure!
This was a real highlight of our whole trip to Paris, we absolutely loved it. Our host was super knowledgable and confident showing us around the bakery. The baguettes, rolls and cakes we made were absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend
We had a tour of the bakery, which was neat, but I was hoping to learn to bake something new - we formed and baked baguettes (dough pre-prepared and were not given the recipe), rolled croissants (triangles ready to roll) and make financiers which was super simple and did not require instruction. Also, I was supposed to be 2 hours and we were done in 1.5 hrs so I didn’t really feel like we got our moneys worth.
This was so much fun! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an inside view into all the carbs being consumed in this country each day! Mohad was an AMAZING host, so funny and so real, you cannot find better. This class is so worth it!
We learned about the operation of a bakery, how to roll croissants and baguettes and make bite-size almond cakes. It was hands on and we were able to eat our creations after they were baked. So delicious!
So enjoyed our time today Miss Manon. She was lovely and outgoing and made the baking class so much fun. We highly recommend doing this!
Alice was great and we had a fantastic time in the bakery. We learned much about the bread and cakes. Tasty breakfast was provided and we got to take home our own baguettes! “Traditionals” to be specific!
It was so much fun! We made baguettes and croissants and really got our hands dirty! So fun and can’t wait to go again!!!
The chef was so wonderful. We had a great time and learned new things. The baked goods offered where delicious. We all had delicious goodies to take with us.
This was both so fun and informative! We had the best time. Our instructor was so entertaining and the activity was just the right balance between hands-on and observing. 5 stars!!
The bakery experience was both fun and delicious and our guide was funny, knowledgeable and guided us expertly.
Amazing tour guide, loved being in an actual bakery. Everything about it was perfect, don’t hesitate to book!!
