Amazing experience - I really enjoyed this authentic behind the scenes of a beautiful bakery in Paris. Everyone was having a good time, Candice got us all involved and got to take out how baguettes and roles and treats. We could bring home the croissant but we got to roll them up and learn about the complex process of making them.

Fantastic Behind the Scenes Tour - This was fun and great behind the scenes of a busy Parisian bakery experience - one of my trip highlights. We were greeted by Jess with some delicious pastries and a beverage to enjoy before the class began. We learned about different flours, techniques and the art of making baguettes, croissants and financiers. Jess was attentive, informative, friendly, patient and a great teacher. Loved that we got take so many goodies with us. I enjoyed this experience thoroughly. Merci beaucoup pour cette merveilleuse expérience Jess!

Delicious Baking Class - This was one of the most fun events I’ve done. I love a class on vacation to learn something new and connect with locals. Jess is a fantastic teacher! We made baguettes,croissant, and mini cakes. I already forgot the name! They were delicious. This is taught in a busy bakery, that was a short walk from the metro.
