I joined this French pastry class as a solo traveller and absolutely loved it! Salome was a wonderful teacher — engaging, patient, and so skilled at making everyone feel included. Even though I was the only solo guest in the group, I never once felt left out. We learned how to make baguettes, financiers, and croissants, which was such a fun and hands-on introduction to French pastry. The class struck a perfect balance between being informative and enjoyable. It’s definitely an experience I would do again, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Paris who wants an authentic and welcoming taste of French baking.

Our bakery experience today was perfect!! David, our guide, was wonderful. He toured us through the bakery, explained everything thoroughly, and let us get right in there and bake in his kitchens. We made croissants, baguettes, and madelines. Everyone in the group got to be involved in the bakery process and the end product was so good! Everyone got to take all the extras home. Such a highlight of our trip!!

Enjoyed the baking lessons just too many in the group. Made it very crowded. Disappointed given the price we paid.
