Step into the kitchen of a real, working neighborhood bakery in Paris and make the essentials of French baking yourself: the baguette and the almond cake known as the financier. This is not a demonstration — you mix, knead, shape and bake everything with your own hands. With a maximum of 6 participants, you get close, personal guidance from an English-speaking instructor. Choose a bakery in Le Marais or Montmartre, and take home a box of the baguette and financiers you baked.

The class takes place not in a classroom but in the kitchen behind the counter of a working Paris neighborhood bakery. Surrounded by the scents of yeast, butter and caramelized sugar, you learn French baking techniques from a professional baker.
At the start, you are welcomed with a pastry and your choice of coffee, tea or juice. All professional baking equipment, including an apron, and ingredients are provided.

You mix, knead, shape and bake the dough yourself. Learn the French baker's secrets for a perfectly crisp, golden crust and a light, airy crumb.

You also learn to make financiers, small almond cakes known for the nutty aroma of brown butter (beurre noisette). With a maximum of 6 guests, the instructor can guide each person closely.
At the end of the class, you take home a warm baguette and a box of financiers you baked yourself.
