Your workshop begins in the heart of Aix-en-Provence’s historic center, just two minutes away from the main square, cafes, and restaurants. Step into a fully-equipped kitchen studio, where you'll meet your instructor, a local chef, and your fellow participants. With a maximum of ten people, you’ll receive personalized guidance throughout the session. You’ll be provided with an apron and utensils before diving into making and kneading the dough. Follow your instructor’s clear, step-by-step instructions as you move on to shaping and baking. You’ll start by perfecting the classic croissant, then try your hand at two other French pastry favorites: pain au chocolat and pain au raisin. While you bake, enjoy complimentary hot and cold drinks. Once your pastries are out of the oven, treat yourself to a tasting session of your delicious creations.

Amazing and Fun class

Our instructor was very knowledgeable and walked us through all the steps. We had a lovely class only 7 students. We were able to ask questions. I was amazed at how good our croissants and pan du chocolate turned out. We also received our recipes & directions on how to make both with 48 hours of our class. A wonderful experience.

Amazing experience!

Such a great experience! I can't believe how great the croissants came out as well. So informative and they walked us though everything. I couldn't recommend this experience more.

Top notch experience

The class was fun and informative. We had people with no experience and some with more, but all had a good time and made some amazing pastries. I highly recommend it and would take another class from these amazing people.
