Itinerary
Step into a charming Paris studio, just a 15-minute walk from the Arc de Triomphe, for an authentic French culinary adventure with Chef Thibault, a classically trained chef who has worked alongside Michelin-starred masters. Choose between a hands-on baking class (croissants or macarons) or a cooking class (classic French dinner). In the croissant class, you’ll learn dough development, lamination, and shaping techniques before baking rustic sourdough and buttery croissants. In the macaron class, discover the secrets to creating glossy shells and seasonal fillings, guided step-by-step by your chef. Each private 2.5-hour session concludes by enjoying your creations with tea, coffee, or juice in a welcoming, 12th-century–inspired studio. Perfect for couples, families, or groups looking to experience French culture through food. Please specify croissant, macaron or French cooking class in the "Dietary Restrictions" field at checkout.
