France · PARIS PASTRY & MACARON WORKSHOPS
5 tours
Two hours with a chef, a laminating rolling pin and a box to carry away is one of the better ways to spend a Paris morning. These are the best pastry classes in the city: croissants from raw dough, macarons piped and matched, éclairs and choux, most of them capped at ten or twelve people and taught in English. Class sizes, locations and prices are set out below.

“My daughter and I took this class and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. Our instructor Florence was so kind, loving, funning and highly skilled in the kitchen. It was a fun group of women, our class consisted of 3 other mother daughter duos. If you find yourself in Paris with an extra 3 hours I highly recommended this class. It was fun and delicious!! We got to take home so many Macarons we could not eat them all.”
