Description

Good to Know

You will be in control of your creations from start to finish, from the moment you lay eyes on the recipe for the first time to the moment you take your creation out of the oven. I will be at your side to guide you and to teach you, with full explanations, the techniques you need to guarantee your baking will be a success! At the end of your experience, we can taste what you have baked and chat about your trip to Paris and I’ll also be happy to give you my culinary advice, recommendations and opinions.

During this interactive cooking lesson, you will be hands-on in the kitchen. Equipped with an apron and all the utensils you need, you will learn how to make your own macarons step by step, also picking the flavor of your choice ! We are professional chefs creating French culinary experiences. Our passion comes from our families and our precision from the chefs we have met.

We are delighted to welcome our guests to our new pastry studio located in the Place des Vosges in the 3rd district. This is a historic location and we are thrilled to be a part of it!

A delicious treat

Maggie led the class with great care, teaching a class with some nouveau aspirant-macaron-bakers. I left inspired to continue baking this delicious dessert. It is a class worth taking, and you leave with a box full of your creation.

Response from ViatorSeptember 19, 2026

Dear Aparna, Thank you, and Maggie will be very glad to read this. Teaching a room where nobody has piped a macaron before is the harder version of the job, and doing it with care rather than with speed is exactly what we ask of her. Leaving inspired to carry on baking is the best outcome we can hope for. The box is yours to enjoy over the next few days, but the habit is the part that actually goes home with you. Warmly, Matthieu

We took the macaron class...

We took the macaron class with Julie, 10/10 experience. Very intimate group as it was 4 of us, plus the instructor. Loved the 1-on-1 and the detailed attention we all received. A very good recipe for macarons and was one of my mom’s and I’s favorite experiences on our trip!

Response from ViatorSeptember 16, 2026

Dear Emma, Thank you for this. Julie will be delighted to read it, and a table of four is exactly the size we hope for, because it lets a chef stand beside each person rather than in front of a room. That you place the morning among the favourite moments of a trip to Paris, and that you shared it with your mother, is the nicest thing a baking school can be told. The recipe is yours now. Do make it again at home and tell us how the shells behave in your own oven. Warmly, Matthieu

A very personal hands-on small group baking experience. Excellent pastry chef easy to follow directions I learned so much and the macaroons were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in baking French macaroons.

A wonderful experience!...

A wonderful experience! So fun! Our pastry chef was so personable, knowledgeable, and helpful! She interacted with us the whole time and gave lots of information! The macarons were absolutely delicious!

A must do baking class

This was one of the best baking classes that our group has taken. Our instructor was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful with some non bakers in the group. Our macarons turned out perfect.
