I would recommend this class! - We took their Macaron baking class and had a great time. The class was small, and the instructor was super helpful, patient, and had great tips for us. I always thought Macarons were intimidating, but after this class, I feel like can make them at home. I would sign up for another class with Maison Fleuret.

Finally perfect macarons - I attended a macaron class at the Maison Fleuret Notre Dame site (other reviews are correct - you can book the Saint Germain de Pres location and are then informed it is not open and asked to attend another site). It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon - our instructor (Amelie) gave really clear instructions and made sure everyone left with a box of macarons they had made themselves. If you're travelling solo, I'd recommend this activity - I was the only solo traveller in a group of 9 (everyone else was family/friends travelling in pairs) and it was a really friendly group.

Fun but overpriced and minimal instruction - For the price and description, we really expected to learn how to make macarons. The actual instruction was minimal, and we were left with many questions. However, it was a fun night and we did leave with several boxes of beautiful macarons that we made. My two teens enjoyed it, even though one had no interest going into the class. First, they changed locations on us due to a situation at our chosen location. That’s fine, emergencies happen, but it did change the plan for our day and should be noted. The class itself was lovely. A small group, well prepared. But so many things were already done for us (didn’t get to sift our own flour, or make our own meringue) so when we went home to try to follow their recipe, it didn’t go well. The recipe is provided via a link to a pdf later. It says it makes 40 cookies but it makes 40 halves. There were inconsistencies with what we did in class and what the recipe says. The instructions for the fillings are very curt and non descriptive. There are typos, and the pictures are just drawn graphics that are unhelpful. The pdf itself is not able to be printed — the text comes out as gibberish so I had to transcribe it in order to print it. I emailed clarifying questions afterwards but never got a response. The timing of the class was unclear. When we registered it said 4:30-7:30. Later they said 4:30-7. We were done in about 90 minutes. Some of the issues could be solved if they provided the recipe during the class so students could ask questions and take notes. They could also provide a paper template to take home. If you think of this as a theater experience, it’s fine. If you want to actually learn and go home and make macarons, it’s insufficient and could be improved significantly, even with some small changes.

Not recommended for families with kids - I was disappointed with our class this afternoon. We took our children and our instructor was not patient with them, she almost felt like she was annoyed we were taking the class (and my kids were fairly well behaved). It felt like she was annoyed any time we had questions. And we messaged the class ahead of time about our son’s allergy of pistachios and someone else in the class chose pistachio as their flavor. It was fine but we just asked to make sure she didn’t use the same utensils and she seemed annoyed about the whole thing. I wouldnt do this again and would not recommend to any friends or family.
