Wonderful teacher and experience . The class was the highlight of our trip. The teacher was well organized and clear with directions
Thank you so much 😊 We're truly honored that the class was one of the highlights of your trip to Aix-en-Provence. It was a pleasure welcoming you to the French Baking Academy, and we're very happy you enjoyed the experience and the class organization.
I loved the class! Chef Gaetane is an amazing instructor. We learned how to make croissants and pan au chocolat the traditional way. A must do when in Aix!
Thank you so much for your lovely review 😊 It was a real pleasure welcoming you to the French Baking Academy, especially coming from a Chef yourself — that truly means a lot to me. We're very happy you enjoyed discovering the traditional French techniques for croissants and pains au chocolat. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Aix-en-Provence one day!
The class was fun and informative. We had people with no experience and some with more, but all had a good time and made some amazing pastries. I highly recommend it and would take another class from these amazing people.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re really happy to hear that everyone had a great time and enjoyed baking together. We try to share our passion for pastries, so it means a lot to know the class was such a good experience for you.
We had a great time learning how to make croissants & pain-au-chicolat pastries today (although we’ll probably never be able to make them at home). The chef was wonderful. We worked in a professional kitchen with six other guests who were fun to get to know. If you’re visiting Aix-En-Provence, we highly recommend this experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the class, the group atmosphere, and your time with our chef!
Fabulous experience, we loved it! It was easy fun and very enjoyable, I highly recommend it! Well worth it!
Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re glad to hear you loved the experience and spent an enjoyable time with us :)
This was a very fun experience and an enjoyable afternoon. The group was small and everyone had a good time participating. The class is held in a professional kitchen and the teacher was great. She had a wry sense of humor which I greatly enjoyed. When I told her I'd seen people grate the butter for lamination instead of pounding it, she said "well, the british don't make croissants." We all came home with a couple of croissants and a couple of pain au chocolate so we had breakfasts and good memories to enjoy afterwards. I highly recommend this experience!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the class, the atmosphere, and your time with our chef. It’s great to know you left with both delicious pastries and good memories — exactly what we hope for every guest!
Amazing experience and Cecile was such a fun, knowledgeable and helpful teacher! The pastries were fantastic and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone visiting aix, merci!
Thank you so much Georgia for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the croissant & pain au chocolat class and your time with us! Merci for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back in Aix one day! Warm regards, The French Baking Academy Team
We both loved this class! The chef walked us through every step and the results were delicious! A highlight of our trip!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 💛 We’re delighted to hear that the class was a highlight of your trip. It was a real pleasure welcoming you, and we hope you’ll keep baking croissants at home to bring back sweet memories of Aix-en-Provence! Warm regards, The French Baking Academy Team
We had a wonderful class, good for bakers of all levels, from the experienced to the novice. My dtr and I attended , perfect class size of 8 students. Can’t wait to get my copy of the recipe so I can try these at home!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re glad you and your daughter enjoyed the class and found it welcoming for all levels. Wishing you many delicious baking moments, Warm regards from Aix-en-Provence, The French Baking Academy Team
This was everything I was hoping for, and more. The instructor was very clear and helped us to be able to reproduce the most delicious croissant and chocolate treat.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the class! Wishing you lots of delicious croissant & pain au chocolat baking at home. Warmly, The French Baking Academy Team
