About this tour, from the operator

Master the art of making one of France’s most delicate pastries on this 3-hour macaron-making class in Paris. With step-by-step guidance from a helpful instructor, choose from a range of vibrant colors and create your elegant meringue shells. Whisk up the soft buttercream filling then carefully pipe it in. Relax as your macarons slowly bake in the oven, then taste them with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy personal attention from the instructor on this small-group tour, limited to eight people. Upgrade your booking for an advanced macarons class.
