Fun Times! - We had a great time. The food at the patisserie was delicious. It was fun to see how some tradtional French breads and cakes are made. Respect to the chefs as so much goes into creating such yummy treats. The group was small, which was nice as we got friendly with each other. Rachel was amazing. She was very informative and super sweet. She snagged us a bonus tasting of Christmas bouche and gave recommendations for lunch and nearby places to buy wine and cheese to go with the baguettes we made. The experience allowed us to visit a part of Paris we might not have gotten to otherwise. Great experience. Highly recommended!

Delicious Parisian Baking - After a cup of coffee and a couple of treats from the display case, Rachel took us through the secrets of shaping baguette and croissant, Shared the story of financiers, and helped us learn the best method for piping those little gold bars into their tray before we baked. We brought home baguette and financiers, but I'm not sure what happened with our croissant once they were shaped. Excellent experience, and highly recommend people take advantage of this experience

Excellent experience, and you're luck if you get Pierre! - This was an excellent experience! We felt that we fully understand the inner workings of a quality boulangerie, and it was a pleasure to enjoy making baguettes and financiers (little cookies)! We were greeted by Pierre, who invited us to a croissant of our choice and nice coffee drink, and then enjoyed a very nice tour. Pierre's enthusiasm is contagious and he obviously enjoys ensuring his guests enjoy the experience. We did! And it was a great impression of Chez Manon, the boulangerie and I will certainly refer them when possible to my friends, restaurants and hotels in Paris.

Time flies baking in Paris - We learned about different types of baguettes, how to make them as well as croissants and cookies. We will continue to make these items at home

Parisian baking experience with the family - We went as a family, two kids ages 7 and 10 and had an amazing time. The 2h class starts out with everyone getting a choice of a delicious pastry and something to drink. The guide who is a trained baker, takes you behind the scenes of a functional authentic Parisian bakery. The guide was kind and very knowledge. There were two other small groups with us, a total of 8. We would highly recommend it. We made baguettes, small cakes (financiers), and croissants.

See a real bakery - Would have liked to be able to actually do more. Only rolled one baguette and one croissant along with piping in 10 financiers. We had a small group too. Were treated to a drink and croissant before presentation

Great tour, interesting educational and I wont look at baguettes the same way now. - It was interesting to hear the different materials that go into different breads. It was fun to make the financier cookies. I thought we were going to make croissants, but we didn't. We did get to eat them and that was a great treat. The bakery makes 1000 croissant a day and 1800 baguettes. The tour guide was great at explaining things and we all learned a lot.
