Superb Baking at Maison Fleuret! - The baking class was a fun experience. I went with my 9 year old daughter. She loved making croissants and pain au chocolat. The cooking studio was new and well appointed. Our instructor was knowledgeable and friendly. It was an all around great experience that I would highly recommend!

One of the best things I have ever done in Paris - I wasn't sure whether to go for this experience or not because it was pricier than other activities I was looking at, but I am SO glad I did. The two leading the class were so friendly and were very clearly experts. It is worth mentioning that you get to do every stage of the process, but you don't do the process from start to finish because that would take something like 9 hours. But the finished croissants and pain au chocolat you have gotten to work on and shape quite a bit, so you don't feel like you have missed out at all. The end product is just absolutely delicious and cooking it in the class is an unreplicable experience, I cannot recommend it enough.

Loved this class - We loved learning how to bake Parisian style. The Croissants were delicious and beautiful and the cinnamon rolls were amazing. Our fearless leader, Craque, seemed to confuse the goal of the class - baking perfection (her’s) with a fun cooking activity in Paris (ours) but it’s hard not to enjoy such a fantastic event.

A great experience for the whole family. - We spent a great morning learning to make Croissants. It was fun and interactive even for the novice chefs among us. You wouldn't believe the beautiful delicious & authentic pastries that we all made! The best part is the end when you taste them fresh and hot from the oven, and even pack some to bring home. The space was clean and airy with plenty of room for 8 of us around the table. Our teacher Morgan from Kansas was fabulous. Fun, patient and knowledgeable she made the experience top for the kids and adults alike. I loved learning about the culture of food and the great pride that Parisians take in the quality of their food. A must do!!

Bakers sign up for this class! - The best thing i signed up to do! They communicated quickly when I was lost and couldn't find the location. When I arrived they were very friendly and welcoming, my chef was Manel. She was wonderful, English is her first language so that made things wonderful for me since I us a hearing aid. She explained everything, every step, she was encouraging and patient. I loved how her information helped me understand better the reason I do things when I bake Sourdough, but that's another story. We took home all the bread we baked and my husband and I enjoyed them on the balcony of our hotel, still warm from the oven. A treasured memory. It was a wonderful class and I can't wait to make croissants.

Awesome croissant baking class in Paris - We had a fantastic 2.5hrs with our master baker Delphine. She took us through the process of creating croissants from scratch. Explained the necessary details to ensure success every time. She made us feel welcome, kept us involved in the process and voila, at the end of class we had delicious croissants and panne chocolat to take back to our hotel. A fantastic afternoon spent in Paris totally recommend.
