Offered in: English

You came to Paris for the food, so why not leave knowing how to make some of it yourself? This small-group pastry class does exactly that, in the most fun and approachable way possible.

Chef Fanny, a gourmet pastry chef with a real talent for making things feel easy, guides you through every step of the process. In this intimate, hands-on class, you’ll learn how to make croissant dough from scratch and transform it into three eye-catching bicolor pastries: buttery croissants, pains au chocolat filled with rich chocolate and raisin rolls layered with vanilla pastry cream. Along the way, she shares the stories, history and little cultural details behind these French classics, turning the experience into something far more memorable than just following a recipe.

Paris has the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Versailles… but it also has this. Don’t leave without doing something that surprises you.

What to expect

There are plenty of ways to spend a morning in Paris, but this one makes a pretty strong case for skipping the museum line just once. Instead, step into a small-group pastry class and learn how to make croissants from scratch with a gourmet pastry chef.

In this hands-on experience, Chef Fanny guides you through the art of proper croissant dough, mixing flour, eggs, sugar, fresh yeast and milk into that iconic buttery, laminated base. It’s the kind of technique that takes years to master, but one great class to truly understand. You’ll shape and fill your dough into three beautiful bicolor creations: classic croissants, pains au chocolat with a rich chocolate filling and raisin rolls with vanilla pastry cream. Along the way, Chef Fanny shares stories, history and local insights that make French baking feel like more than just following a recipe.

Expect flour on your hands, pastries in your belly and a new skill that will seriously impress back home.
