Wonderful bakery tour - The guide was Nellie who was just great with our 3 kids. A hands on experience making baguettes, croissants and “financiers” that we took away with us. The behind the scenes tour was excellent. Highly recommend- well worth the cost to experience a bit of Parisian culture.

You won't regret it! - Our family had such a great time in this experience learning about local bread making, small sweet cakes and croissants. Our host was friendly, personable and was great at involving our children in the process (ages 12 and 15). Highly recommend!

Made with love! - This Paris French Bakery Experience was the highlight of our trip! We will never look at croissants and baguettes the same way again. Learning and participating in the baking was so fun. Our guide Katie and her boulangerie team were great teachers and very kind!

Fantastic Family Experience in Paris - and Delicious too! - We had the best time on our baking tour and learned so much. Our guide was fantastic! And it was really cool to see how a working French bakery (that serves. It only it’s own customers but also hotels, restaurants, business, etc) around the Marais operates — and the baguettes and pastries we made were delicious too!!!

Lighthearted and tasty intro to French recipes. - Ananya was super sweet and made things easy and fun for me and my three daughters inna cute family owned boulangerie, we got glimpses of workers in action while we did our light work. We got to take our baking home and enjoyed the balance of learning and watching. This is not for seasoned pastry chefs. It's a lighthearted intro to standard french baking. We had a lot of fun.

Not really baking - This is an expensive tour. While it is interesting to go behind the scenes of a working bakery, all you do is shape a baguette, roll a croissant, and take turns stirring cookie dough. Fun for kids. Not much for an adult

SCAM, do not book - It’s a scam. Do not book. Once you book, there is no information on where to go. The phone number to reach them does not work. They don’t respond to emails.
