Paris Baking Experience at a Local French Bakery

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Unlike standard cooking classes, this experience takes place inside a real Montmartre bakery—not a classroom.

With only eight participants, you’ll enjoy direct, hands-on guidance from a professional French baker who shares both practical techniques and insider stories from Montmartre’s vibrant culinary scene.

You won’t just watch—you’ll shape dough, laminate pastry, and taste a variety of breads and cakes while learning the history and secrets behind them.

From discovering why the baguette is a French cultural symbol to uncovering the surprising origins of the croissant, every detail adds depth to your experience in Montmartre.

By the end, you’ll leave with your own freshly baked creations, plus the knowledge and confidence to bring authentic Montmartre-inspired French flavors into your kitchen long after your trip.

What to expect

Imagine stepping past the charming storefront of a Montmartre boulangerie, not as a customer but as an apprentice for the day. The air is warm, rich with the scent of yeast, butter, and caramelized sugar. This isn’t a sterile classroom; it’s the flour-dusted heart of a neighborhood bakery in Montmartre, where generations of tradition come alive and you’re about to uncover the secrets of French baking.

In this intimate, hands-on workshop, you’ll step behind the counter and learn from a professional who lives and breathes the craft. You won’t simply watch—you’ll roll up your sleeves, plunge your hands into the dough, and discover the techniques that give French breads and pastries their timeless appeal. From mixing and kneading to shaping and baking, every step brings you closer to mastering the flavors of Paris right in the heart of Montmartre.

By the end, you won’t just leave with the warm baguette and delicate pastries you created—you’ll carry home the knowledge, confidence, and sweet memories of baking like a true Parisian, in the artistic soul of Montmartre.
