Description
It all starts with a warm cup of tea or coffee before jumping right into the crafting of your own Buttery Croissant, Pain au Chocolat (or chocolate croissant) and the Pain au Raisin ! Small groups of 8 allow the chef to follow closely how you learn new skills and knowledge. First, discover the equipment, the ingredients, and the theory behind the making of the croissant. You will be making it from scratch with quality ingredients we selected from our local producers. Then kneading the predough is where it all begins. You will provide the last ingredient with the rolling pin as you roll out the finished dough from which you will shape your own pastries! Time will do the rest while they rest and bake. It all ends well with the tasting of what you have baked and the always instructive chat about your trip to Paris. We, as chefs, are very happy to give you our culinary advice, recommendations, and opinions and also learn from you. Don’t forget to take away the leftovers!

Paris trip not complete without this experience!!
I love cooking classes and this was one of the best experiences I had in Paris. The school (Maison fleuret) was such a highlight that I booked another last minute macaron class with them that same day!! You get to be hands on with every step of the croissant making and you can take away many croissants back. Can’t recommend this enough. I feel this would be even more fun with friends and family

Wonderful Croissants
From the time we arrived, they served coffee and tea and made us feel right at home. Instructor was Lara. She was so sweet and knowledgeable about all things croissants and pastries. After we made the croissants, we got to cook and sampled them and they were delicious.!

Great instructor, fun class
Rosalie was a delightful instructor. She was very patient with our questions and offered suggestions as to what products we could purchase in the US that would be comparable to French flour and butter.. The group was friendly and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Creating the Perfect Croissants
This was a very interesting and informative class. We learned not only how to create croissants but the science behind why things need to be done in a certain way. The bonus was getting to take home all of our delicious creations.

Tres bien!
Rosali was absolutely wonderful. She explained how everything works and answered all of our questions. I think we will do this again! The croissants were delicious!

Highly recommended - fun workshop and lovely pastries
This was a wonderfully organised workshop. There were six of us in the class, and our instructor Julia was incredibly friendly, fun, and clearly an expert at their craft. We learned to make croissant, pain au chocolat, and pain suisses, which was a brilliant experience. I know some past reviewers didn't like being paired up, but I actually preferred it; rolling out croissant dough is hard work, so having a partner to share the physical effort made it much better. I learned a lot, brought home a box of fantastic pastries, and feel completely encouraged to try baking them at home.

Fresh croissants for breakfast right out of the oven!
We really enjoyed baking our breakfast croissants to eat fresh out of the oven, along with other people from around the world, Julie was a great teacher and now we have the detailed recipe so we can try doing this at home!
