Excellent macaron class with Felix. Would do it again with Maison Fleuret. Already replicated back home. Felix’s instruction and patience made the class a success for all. Merci Felix

I absolutely loved the Paris Macarons Small-Group Baking Class! The chef was friendly, patient, and explained each step clearly, making it easy to follow along even for beginners. The kitchen was charming and well-organized, and the small group size made the experience feel personal and hands-on. I learned great tips for perfecting macaron shells and fillings — and, of course, got to enjoy delicious results at the end. Highly recommend this class for anyone wanting a fun and authentic Parisian experience!
Great time making...

We didn’t know what to expect, but our chef was so welcoming and explained and helped us through the whole process. It was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend it to all and even those who have never baked!

We were a group of 4 (2 couples) and had a good time. Our teacher was Nogo and she gave us excellent instruction. We were able to select the color and flavor of our macarons. We each walked out with a box of 20 (a few with a defect or two). I would recommend this as a very good experience.
Great family friendly activity

I booked this experience for myself and my 10 year old daughter. It was absolutely perfect. Our instructor was great and the prepped ingredients made the process simple and fun! Our macarons turned out delicious. I highly recommend for a kid friendly activity in Paris. I think the ideal age would be 7 or 8 and up, but younger kids could participate with help.
Wonderful family class

We had a wonderful class that was engaging for both kids (ages 7 & 10) and adults. Our instructor, Mateo, took us through the entire process step by step and we each had our own materials to work with. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning to make macarons and will be booking with the school again if we have a return trip!
Great family fun macaron session.

Not really a Baking Class

This was a cute little activity! Great for any age. As for a baking class it was not an educational opportunity. No recipes handed out, no measuring, no explanation of the science of macaronage. Even broken cookies were explained away as the first use of the oven that day. Therefore not reliable. I came to learn the intricacies of macaroni and paid quite a bit of money to do so so I was not in the least bit impressed. The ad said drinks and snacks. But that was just a station in the hallway with water and coffee. No charm at all though the instructor was perfectly pleasant. This is a solid $40 experience at best.
I’m a French pastry chef!

Well- I may not officially be a French pastry chef yet, but Mateo made our macaroon cooking experience so fun and easy, I felt like I could be! I attended with my 80 year old mom and 11 year old niece and we all really enjoyed it! I am on my way to Michelin star desserts!
