Paris Pastry Shops Tour

Discover firsthand why French croissants are a favorite. Come with your family or friends to this cooking class taught by a master pastry chef in a traditional Parisian bakery.

If you consider yourself a foodie, this class is for you. For approximately two hours, you will prepare your own pastries while learning where French pastries are famous for from an expert pastry chef.

In a small group of about 9 people, you will all be close to the master as you make your pastries. At his work table, he will tell you about the types of flour and their quantities, so that you too can bake a baguette or a pain au chocolat. The master will explain the importance of the ingredients, how the mixtures are decided and how they are prepared to make the most of their flavor and texture.

He will also show you the French kneading techniques and the care of the baking process. And being in a professional oven, he will also show you the machinery they use every morning to prepare the products they will sell that day.

Finally, at the end of your visit you will be able to take with you a delicious freshly baked baguette.

This activity is ideal if you go with children: getting dirty is more than allowed, and they will have a lot of fun playing at being bakers in a real bakery, because while you are in the oven baking they will also be able to see how the bakery team dispatches the customers.
