Overview

Discover what makes French pastries truly special by stepping inside a working Parisian boulangerie — not just to watch, but to bake like the artisans do. Proudly named Top10Adventures® Experience Award Winner in 2023 & 2024, this tour is recognized among the top-rated family experiences for guest satisfaction and authenticity.

During this 2-hour experience, you and your family will learn how iconic French breads and pastries are created from scratch, in the very place where locals buy their daily baguettes. Unlike tourist-style demos, this visit offers real behind-the-scenes access to the production area — where dough is mixed, folded, laminated, and baked before sunrise.

Children and adults roll up their sleeves to:
• Shape baguettes and rustic breads
• Roll their own croissant

Kept intentionally small (max. 9 guests), this award-winning experience is intimate, family-friendly, and deeply authentic — a chance to step behind the counter and access a world normally hidden from the public.

What's Included

  • Traditional French Breakfast at your arrival
  • Your baguette to take with you
  • Small-group baking class
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off

What To Expect

Top10Adventures® Experience Award Winner 2023 & 2024 — recognized among the top family experiences worldwide for exceptional reviews, guest satisfaction, and booking volume.

A behind-the-scenes bakery adventure for families — hands-on, authentic, and fun.

Start with a warm French breakfast in the café: a fresh croissant plus hot chocolate, coffee or a soft drink.
After breakfast, you’ll be invited inside the bakery for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour. You’ll meet the artisans, discover how traditional French breads and pastries are made, and then it’s your turn to roll up your sleeves!

Hands-on workshop:
• Learn how baguettes and country breads are shaped
• Roll your own croissant and shape your baguette
• Bake your creations and take them home, warm from the oven

Cherry on top: make classic Financiers from scratch — bake, taste, and bring the rest home (if you don’t eat them first ).

Family-friendly and welcoming to all ages. Small groups, this experience is combining discovery, tasting, baking, and fun — a truly interactive culinary experience in the heart of Paris.
