Fun experience! - This was the highlight of a first time trip to Paris with my niece! Everything was so well organized. The venue is in a perfect location and very pretty. We loved having many options on how to make our macarons and of course with the chef's instruction, they turned out beautifully. Our group was only 6 and it was fun to talk to the other 4 people. I've been to Paris mant ti.es but this was new for my niece. The experienced completely enhanced her view of the city and its people. Best of all, we feel we can make them at home now!
