Rewarding - Our guide Fetah was wonderful and very easy to understand. He was nice and very informative about both historical infos and Paris' presentation through the view. Very recommended if you don't mind the steps all the way up! When you reach the second floor, it feels like you really tasted the craft that really went into building the tower; also, it feels like you achieved a personal goal with yourself!!

Fun Baking experience - We had an amazing time making, eating and learning a lot about its history. Most importantly, we had fun as a family doing it and I have no clue how to bake. Jess was amazing teacher.

Greatly enjoyed my time baking - Jess was my instructor during my baking lesson. I learned about different flours for making bread and pastries, the difference between classic and traditional baguettes, how to shape and bake baguettes, croissants and financiers. I was the only student in the morning session, and started it with a sampling of croissants and a drink. I had a great time, and Jess was so nice, patient and a great instructor. It was also interesting to see the bakers make the bread and pasties. I even got to bring back baguettes, croissants and financiers. Highly recommend this. The location was easy to get to from where I stayed, which was near the Arc de Triomphe.

They served us our drinks and we chatted with our other classmates until we started. The experience was especially good mainly because the instructor broke down why we did the stuff and the rich history behind each dish.

A Paris Experience !!! - A must see!!! Candace was so kind and great with the kids. 8 people was kind of crowded.. the counter wasn’t big enough to really hold all of us… maybe groups of 6 would be better. Also the croissant portion was a little disappointing… everything is done and you are just rolling them, which is no different than rolling Pillsbury crescent rolls back home. The baguette part was awesome and the historical elements were really fun to hear about. Having an experience like this in Paris is better than any tour bus and something you’ll never forget!
