Amazing and Fun class
Our instructor was very knowledgeable and walked us through all the steps. We had a lovely class only 7 students. We were able to ask questions. I was amazed at how good our croissants and pan du chocolate turned out. We also received our recipes & directions on how to make both with 48 hours of our class. A wonderful experience.

Top notch experience
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.

Fabulous croissant & pain-au-chocolat class!
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.

Yummy croissants and good memories!
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!
