Unlike standard cooking classes, this experience takes place inside a real local bakery—not a classroom. With only eight participants, you’ll enjoy direct, hands-on guidance from a professional French instructor who shares both practical techniques and insider stories from Local’s vibrant culinary scene. 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 in a Local bakery. By the end, you’ll leave with your own freshly baked creations, plus the knowledge and confidence to bring authentic and inspired French flavors into your kitchen long after your trip.
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
Gratuities
Step past the charming storefront of a local boulangerie, not as a customer but as an apprentice for the day. The air is warm, rich with the scent of yeast, butter, and caramelized sugar. This isn’t a sterile classroom; it’s the flour-dusted heart of an authentic Parisian bakery where generations of tradition come alive and you’re about to uncover the secrets of French baking. In this intimate, hands-on workshop, you’ll step behind the counter and learn from a professional who lives and breathes the craft. You won’t simply watch—you’ll roll up your sleeves, plunge your hands into the dough, and discover the techniques that give French breads and pastries their timeless appeal. From mixing and kneading to shaping and baking, every step brings you closer to mastering the flavors of the city. By the end, you won’t just leave with the warm baguette and delicate pastries you created—you’ll carry home the knowledge, confidence, and sweet memories of baking like a true Parisian in the artistic soul of a local neighborhood.

Baguettes and More!

This was such a fun activity and very informative. We learned about how integral the baguette is to Parisian life! The professional bakers were amazing to watch and the volume of bread they produce daily is astounding. Our guide, Temi, was superb. She was informative, lively and encouraging despite some of our less than perfect loaves. It is a small, but highly rated bakery in the Marais and we got to see the inner workings, roll our own baguettes and croissants and bake some delicious financier...read more

Let’s Bake With A French Baker!

What a fun time with the Paris Baking Experience. We were greeted in the store and brought back into the working area of the bakery. It was great to see how things were done behind the scenes. We were given an apron, and hair net and were shown the correct way to wash your hands. Cleanliness is key. Our teacher/baker was fun and knowledgeable on the baking process. Two hours just flew by. We left with bags full of treats. I highly suggest going for this class and learning the backside of a Fren...read more

Best Baking Experience!

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by the Baker and instructed, educated and entertained! It was a wonderful experience and one I didn’t want to see end. It was a hands on instruction with a step by step approach. The Baker was full of history facts on each of the offerings we would make. Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience!
