You won’t just watch—you’ll shape dough, laminate pastry, and taste a variety of breads and cakes while learning the history and secrets behind them.

From discovering why the baguette is a French cultural symbol to uncovering the surprising origins of the croissant, every detail adds depth to your experience.

By the end, you’ll leave with your own freshly baked creations, plus the knowledge and confidence to bring authentic French flavors into your own kitchen long after your trip.

What To Expect

Imagine stepping past the charming storefront of a Parisian boulangerie, not as a customer but as an apprentice for the day. The air is warm, rich with the scent of yeast, butter, and caramelized sugar. This isn’t a sterile classroom; it’s the flour-dusted heart of a neighborhood bakery, where generations of tradition come alive and you’re about to uncover the secrets of French baking. In this intimate, hands-on workshop, you’ll step behind the counter and learn from a professional who lives and breathes the craft. You won’t simply watch—you’ll roll up your sleeves, plunge your hands into the dough, and discover the techniques that give French breads and pastries their timeless appeal. From mixing and kneading to shaping and baking, every step brings you closer to mastering the flavors of Paris. By the end, you won’t just leave with the warm baguette and delicate pastries you created—you’ll carry home the knowledge, confidence, and sweet memories of baking like a true Parisian.

Priya was fantastic! The staff met us with cafe and croissants! We then proceeded to get introduced to the making of baguettes (what flour and ingredients are used). The dough is made prior (because it has to be!) we weee taught how to shape a baguette as well as a “roll”. Then onto financiers- super easy and fun! Finally while those were baking - we weee taught how to roll croissants…. Amazing fun and educational. The neighborhood where this was located was quaint and had very nice shops (specialty tea, chocolate etc)
A great French experience!

Pierre was an excellent host. He taught us all about how a traditional French bakery is run, showing the different areas for bread, pastries and cakes! We then got involved in the baking process and were able to take home lots of bread and cakes that we made!
Fun for all abilities

Had such a fun time at the baking class! 🍰 We learned how to make financiers and croissants — both turned out amazing. Our instructor Nisha (the sweetest girl ever!) made everything easy and enjoyable. The whole staff was super friendly, and the baked goodies were absolutely phenomenal. Come over and experience it yourself — totally worth it! 🥐✨
Awesome experience.
