French Baking Class in a Local Montmartre Bakery
Description
Unlike standard cooking classes, this experience takes place inside a real Parisian bakery, not a classroom. With only eight participants, you’ll enjoy direct, hands-on guidance from a professional French baker who shares both practical techniques and insider stories. You won’t just watch—you’ll shape dough, laminate pastry, and taste a variety of breads and cakes while learning the history and secrets behind them. From discovering why the baguette is a French cultural symbol to uncovering the surprising origins of the croissant, every detail adds depth to your experience. By the end, you’ll leave with your own freshly baked creations, plus the knowledge and confidence to bring authentic French flavors into your own kitchen long after your trip.

Temi was a great instructor. Not only did we get to learn how to make baguettes, financiers and roll our own croissants we received a very brief history lesson on where each comes from. Was able to bring home all of our delicious baked goods! Highly recommend!

Lovely experience with David who was humorous and very informative, whilst we prepared baguettes, financiers and croissants. A lovely afternoon baking!
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're delighted to hear that David made your baking experience both informative and entertaining. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed preparing the baguettes, financiers, and croissants and had such a lovely afternoon baking with us!
We had a group of four that just wanted to learn some basics about making things such as baguettes and croissants and were not disappointed. David did a great job of explaining the terminology, process, ingredients, and techniques for making the bread. Plus, he both made us laugh with his humor and taught us some of the science behind the bread making. We all agreed afterward that it was a memorable experience that we will always appreciate having done. We did finish with making financiers and took many home as well as several demi-baguettes. Make sure you plan to eat those baguettes for dinner that day and for the whole next day! Also, no need to bring a jacket or sweater because it is quite warm working near the oven. We definitely recommend this experience.
Thank you for such a detailed and wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that David made the baking experience both educational and entertaining, while sharing helpful techniques, terminology, and the science behind French breadmaking. It’s fantastic to know that your group found the experience memorable and enjoyed taking home your freshly baked baguettes and financiers!
