Paris Macaron Baking Activity in a Real Pâtisserie
Description
Unlike standard pastry classes, this experience unfolds inside a real Parisian bakery, not a studio. With only eight participants, you’ll receive hands-on guidance from a professional French pâtissier who reveals the secrets behind perfect macarons—from glossy meringue to smooth, delicate shells. You won’t just observe—you’ll whisk, fold, pipe, and fill your own colorful creations while learning about the art, science, and history of France’s most elegant treat. Discover how this tiny pastry became a symbol of French sophistication and why precision, timing, and texture make all the difference. By the end, you’ll leave with a box of your handmade macarons, plus the skills and confidence to recreate their Parisian magic at home.

Was much more for adults than kids. Our kids got bored so that was disappointing. Chef was very knowledgeable and kind.
Dear Haley, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the class didn't meet your children's expectations. While many families have told us their children thoroughly enjoyed and stayed engaged throughout the experience, we understand that every child has different interests and attention spans. We're glad to hear you found the chef knowledgeable and kind, and we truly appreciate your comments as they help us continue improving our experiences for guests of all ages.
We had a great experience! Macarons are tough to make and the class set up made it approachable. We enjoyed being able to go through all of the steps with the instructions on how to perfect the techniques at home. We had an 11 year old and a 16 year old and both were engaged.
