# Croissants and pains au chocolat with a pastry chef in Paris

**Guidekin's take:** Make croissants and pains au chocolat from scratch, including dough lamination and baking, in a Parisian apartment. Pastries, water and coffee or tea are included; children under ten cannot attend, and a cat lives in the home. 4.96 from 125 reviews at €105 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #23 of 88 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

With the help of a diplomaed pastry chef, you will discover all the secrets of the famous French croissants and pains au chocolat. 

During our time together you will be the chef! You will make the dough from scratch, do the lamination, watch the rising of the croissants and bake them. 

In the intimacy of a traditional haussmannian Parisian apartment, you will become a real croissant connoisseur. 

You will taste delicious pastries and leave with all of your wonderful creations and instructions to repeat the recipe at home. 

You will also receive advice on your Parisian trip: what to do, where to shop and eat and more importantly, where to enjoy good pastries.
