First we started off with a fabulous French breakfast. We proceeded downstairs to the heart of the bakery where we met Nono. He showed us around the bakery. Then we started baking! We had the BEST time. He was funny and so patient with us. We made baguettes, croissants, Financiers and bread bowls. We enjoyed every minute. We highly recommend booking this tour.
Had a great time with Mourad and team. He was very helpful and great with the kids. Everyone had a very nice time. Would recommend if looking to have a fun time with the kids.
Mourad was an awesome guide and we really enjoyed our experience. This is a great event for couples or families. We had a wonderful time and left with some edible treasures!
This was fun for my husband and me who both live to cook. The group was small (just two other women) which made our experience more enjoyable. Our guide, Mourad, was knowledgeable, experienced and enlightened us with baking techniques. Thanks also for the dinner suggestion, Mourad!!!
This baking class/tour was fantastic!!! My husband and boys absolutely loved it! We made baguettes, croissants and madeleines. We got to eat and take home all the goodies. Mourad, the gentleman that gave the tour was so kind and wonderful with our boys! We learned so much about French baking and boulangeries. This was a great morning!
My family of four took this wonderful tour with Igor as the guide in June 2023. We were joined by a separate family of 3. After the delicious breakfast of pastries and hot chocolate in the shop (included with the price), we began the tour of the actual working bakery. Igor kept every person engaged (all adults and our 14 year old, 11 year old) with hands-on making of many products (baguettes, braided loaves, croissants, financiers, bolle, etc.) which we were able to take home at the end. I highly recommend this tour: we learned about the inner workings and saw how a real Parisian bakery operates, and made a variety of items ourselves, all in 2 hours. Igor spoke perfect English and was very friendly/entertaining. Since this a family-owned small working bakery, you will walk in narrow halls/stairwells to get to the different prep areas. At the end, Igor told us which local shops sell cheese/butter so we had a delightful picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower with a variety of bread we had freshly baked ourselves that day!
Fabulous French baguettes
Igor was a fantastic tour guide who had lots of interesting info about the bakery. The bread
made was amazing.

Great Experience in Paris with Mourad at Miss Manon Bakery
The kids wanted to experience Paris by baking baguettes and other French pastries. This was easy to book and easy to find. We arrived 10 minutes late because of the traffic and were worried. But we were greeted with coffees, freshly baked croissants as we waited for the rest of the group. Mourad was the best guide and made the experience educational and fun! He taught us how to make financiers, roll croissants and make baguettes all from scratch. Would highly recommend this experience with Mourad at Miss Manon Bakery!

Very well run hands on baking session suitable for all ages includes pastry breakfast and take home baking
I would recommend this tour for adults as well as families with children. We went with children aged 9 and 5. The session started with hot drinks and pastries. It was very hands on with the kids making baguettes, croissants and little friand like cakes. We go to to take home everything that we made except the croissants because they could not be cooked in time. The kids had a great time and the bakers were very accomodating to having their work interrupted by us. It was very informative to see a commercial kitchen in action.

Comment: Fast paced, information dense, learned a lot in a short amount of time. My 11 year old was engaged and busy. In under 2 hours she participated in baking pan chocolat, muffins, baguette, bolle, and croissant. No promises that everyone will be able to do the same, because every day is different.
Thank you so much for this wonderful activity we shared with my family, it was the highlight of our trip, my kids loved it. Our guide Igor was very informative and funny.
Thank you!

We loved Lisa! She’s a natural in the kitchen and has such a warm, engaging presence. She was so sweet and she was just a pleasure to be around. It was also nice that she shared so much about baking and about life in France. She was eager to give us the best experience, and she did just that!
We had an amazing time on our bakery tour!! It was the perfect activity for our family and our 11 yr. old twin boys had so much fun making baguettes, financiers and croissants. Our guide was Mourad and he was wonderful! He was extremely hospitable, kind, funny and informative. We would 100% recommend this tour and Mourad to anyone visiting Paris. Make sure to arrive hungry because we were served a tray of bread and pastries when we arrived and left with all the bread and financiers we made. We feasted for days!
