Go beyond the bakery counter and discover French baking during a hands-on workshop in Paris. Join a professional baker for an experience dedicated to three iconic specialties: the baguette, the croissant and the madeleine.

Take part in preparation activities under the baker’s guidance and explore the craftsmanship behind these French favorites. Discover their distinctive textures and shapes, from the baguette’s crisp crust to the croissant’s delicate layers and the madeleine’s shell-shaped form.

Along the way, hear anecdotes about French baking traditions, ask questions and pick up practical tips. This is an introductory workshop, offering a welcoming way to discover the baker’s craft rather than an intensive professional course.

Share the experience with a small group of 4 to 10 participants, and leave with your workshop creations to enjoy afterwards—a delicious souvenir of your time in Paris.

The workshop takes place at 106 Boulevard Voltaire in the 11th arrondissement. It lasts approximately 90 minutes and may run up to 2 hours depending on group size. Please allow the full 2 hours when planning your day.
