The croissant. The baguette. The eclair. The macaron. Famed the world over, what better way to start your morning than with a hot espresso and a warm, fresh-from-the-oven bread for dipping into? Learn the basics and intricacies that go into crafting Parisian’s favorite breakfast breads and sweets on this 2 hour morning baking class at a traditional French boulangerie! This family favorite tour allows children the chance to get their hands dirty and their sweet tooths satisfied!
Follow your guide to the backroom where all of the rolling, kneading, mixing, and baking happen. Explore the ingredients that are carefully mixed to create baguettes, croissants, and pain au chocolates with just the right amount of texture and flavor. Get your hands busy in the flour under the careful supervision of a master baker. You will get to see the industrial machines used for processing larger amounts of baked goods as well as the manual labor involved. Ideal for families and gourmet foodies alike, this small-group activity is limited to just eight people at a time.
Once your bakery tour is complete, you will get to leave with your very own baguette that you have created! Ask your guide for their suggestions on where the best charcuterie is for enjoying an authentically French picnic at Place des Vosges or the square du Vert Galant! Bon appetit!
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.

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!
