Fun & memorable Lyon experience - Very fun mother-daughter afternoon and the chef was a delight — as well was our fellow bakers. Recommend.

Not to be mussed - Thierry was amazing. An afternoon not to be missed. We made pastry and confetti washed down with a lovely glass (or 2) of bubbles. Thierry was also very helpful in suggesting places to eat not only to local restaurants but places in Strasburg and Dion. Worth every cent. Thanks Thierry.

Excellent Afternoon Making Pastries! - We thoroughly enjoyed our pastry class with Chef Lyon. It was a group of 9 of us. We made pralines roses, shortbread, and a praline tart special to Lyon. The class was super fun and Chef was a very engaging instructor. We are so happy we did this activity and learned more about Lyon’s gastronomy in an intimate way.

Great experience - Everything about this experience was enjoyable. The space was clean and organized. The chef was welcoming, friendly and provided a relaxed environment. The chef provided clear instruction (in English) and assistance along the way if you needed it. We laughed a lot. We learned a lot. And ate delicious eclairs!

Great experience as a solo or group traveler - The chef was great! He was informative, funny, and really made the experience for me. I went solo, and didn’t feel left out at any point. It was obvious the other group and couple had a great time as well. The chef was taking pictures on my phone for me while I was cooking - without even having to ask!! I’d do it again, no questions asked!

Unsatisfied with Pink praline - Disappointing workshop, despite the great location and friendly chef. I was unsatisfied with the chosen dish we prepared: pink praline, candied almonds, and cookies. It wasn't worth the high price paid, and I didn't learn much about French pastry.
