Great fun - Fantastically good fun. Mourad was a very entertaining guide, with a great sense of humour, and lots of energy. Our two girls aged 9 and 12 loved it. Tip: do this early in your stay because you get to take lots of bread and pastries home afterwards, and we ate it over the weekend we stayed in Paris.

Delicious Fun! - We were welcomed by our baker Mourad with delicious pastries and cappuccinos while we waited for the rest of the group to arrive. Once everyone was there we headed downstairs in the working bakery. Mourad was enthusiastic, funny and energetic, making it fun for the adults, teens and kids! During the tour, we stopped to make croissants, baguettes and pastries! He taught us the differences in baguettes and the lengthy process it entails to make these French staples. We left with 2 bags of delicious breads that we were able to enjoy during our trip. This was one of the highlights of our time in Paris! Highly recommended.

Excellent - We had such a fantastic time! We were at Miss Manon bakery, and the experience was such a positive one. From the background of bakeries to the education on the ingredients in some of the products we made, to the baking and tasting, the time we had there was truly special, and we won’t forget it.

Core memory in Paris - I took the bakery tour with my teenage son and it was absolutely fabulous! Seeing the backstage of a French boulangerie, where all the magic happens and where baguettes and croissants are born was the key experience of our trip to Paris. Each of us made a baguette, a loaf of bread and financiers that we took with us when we left. We ate them all by the end of the day, they were super tasty! We also rolled croissants and took loads of pictures :) Our guide, Murad, was outstanding! His genuine enthusiasm, kindness and lovely French accent made the experience truly memorable. I would recommend this wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Paris, worth every cent!

Highlight of our Paris girls trip! - What a fantastic addition to any Paris itinerary! I thoroughly enjoyed this hands-on bakery experience with my daughters (12 and 9) and our friends. Morad, our host, shared his knowledge and passion for the history and importance of bread/baking in French culture and guided us through the process of making our own baguettes, financiers, and croissants. We left with bags full of baked goods to enjoy, and of course, they were delicious! We highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a memorable excursion in Paris!
