Highly recommend - We had a lovely time. The macaon class teacher was so knowledgeable and gave fantastic tips and tricks for making the macarons. Te best part was, of course, to be able to take a few macarons we made home with us. Loved the experience and would highly recommend. It's so good!!!

10/10 experience - My flight got in at 1230 with my macaroon class taking place at 2…. Unlucky for me trying to locate my Uber was STRESSSSFUL 😩. Once I finally got a ride to my hotel, I bulleted to the class (this was my first time in Paris) so I did have trouble finding it BUT I was determined to get to this class because I was super excited. WELL 30min late didn’t stop me from having a GREAT time. Our teacher, I wish I remembered her name was so lovely. Coming from New York this was quite the experience that I was so happy to check off my bucket list.

So fun, informative, and comfortable! - We loved Marie and this class! She was kind, talented, and funny! The place is so clean and makes you feel fancy. They do a great job of having everything set up for you before the class starts. Together, we watched Marie make the shells of the macaroon, she allowed us to pipe them onto the tray, and then you individually make the ganache. You leave with 4 of your own to eat. My friends and I had a great time and felt very comfortable and confident (although none of us are cooks, and we felt a little nervous going in). There was a range of ages, including two younger kids, great for everyone! We're excited to make these for Thanksgiving!

Making filling for Macarons - This was our first cooking class of our Europe vacation so we were not sure what to expect. It was a little chaotic getting set up as people were not willing to move to allow families to sit all together and the instructor didn't help. We ended up moving one of our party members to a corner so he could sit with the rest of us and they had to move bowls and utensils as we made things. It felt like our instructor was not really thrilled to be there. By the end of the class, I wished we had chosen a more hands-on workshop like making croissants.
