Description
Discover what makes French pastries truly special by stepping inside a working Parisian boulangerie — not just to watch, but to bake like the artisans do. Proudly named Viator Experience Award Winner in 2023 and 2024, this tour is recognized among the top-rated family experiences for guest satisfaction and authenticity. During this 2-hour experience, you and your family will learn how iconic French breads and pastries are created from scratch, in the very place where locals buy their daily baguettes. Unlike tourist-style demos, this visit offers real behind-the-scenes access to the production area — where dough is mixed, folded, laminated, and baked before sunrise. Children and adults roll up their sleeves to: - Shape baguettes and rustic breads - Roll their own croissant Kept intentionally small (max. 8 guests), this award-winning experience is intimate, family-friendly, and deeply authentic — a chance to step behind the counter and access a world normally hidden from the public.

Family friend baking class--highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time being led by Nicola at a French bakery. He was friendly, and perfect with the grandparents and my two teenage sons. He also told us about the history of financiers and croissants while he taught us how to roll the dough. Everyone in the bakery was very friendly. Everything we baked as delicious too.
