Instruction, bread and cake tastings, plus croissants and a baguette to take home are included; gratuities are excluded. 4.92 from 418 reviews at €95 per person for 1h 30m. In our comparison: #23 of 50 in Montmartre Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Unlike standard cooking classes, this experience takes place inside a real Parisian 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. 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. By the end, you’ll leave with your own freshly baked creations, plus the knowledge and confidence to bring authentic French flavors into your own kitchen long after your trip. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Please arrive 15 minutes early for a… - Starts 12:00, 14:00, 16:30: 3 departures a day - Age 5+: minimum age to join **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €95 per person - Duration: 1h 30m - Rating: 4.92/5 from 418 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: AUTENTIK EXPERIENCE - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 12:00, 14:00, 16:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-01 ## Reviews 4.92 from 418 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 409 of 418. - 5 stars: 402 (96%) - 4 stars: 7 (2%) - 3 stars: 3 (1%) - 2 stars: 4 (1%) - 1 star: 2 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the teaching and baked goods; some wanted more active participation in the baking. **Praised:** - Friendly instructors who explain techniques and answer questions patiently - Baking history and science woven into explanations of bread and pastries - Tasty baguettes and financiers, with plenty of baked goods to take home - Welcoming classes that keep children and teenagers involved - Recipes and practical tips to use when baking at home **Complaints:** - Some wanted more active baking, while others describe full participation - Heat in the baking space made some participants uncomfortable - Some could not take croissants home after the class Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2026-07-04 to 2026-10-02); last checked 2026-10-03. ## What's included - Interactive French baking workshop - Several tastings of classic breads and cakes - Croissants and baguette to take home - Expert instructor skilled in the art of French baking ## Not included - Gratuities ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 12:00, 14:00, 16:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-01 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Please arrive 15 minutes early for a smooth start.
