It was an absolutely wonderful experience of baking in an authentic Parisian flat.
Joannie is most welcoming and very knowledgeable, with near-perfect and easy-to-understand English.
She created an emerging experience during which time flew, and all we could do was wonder how we remember it all, but do not worry, at the end, she send you off with detailed recipes and a bag of goodies. And since all was done in the typical household kitchen, recreating at home is easy.
I highly recommend it to all visiting Paris, whether you are an experienced baker or just like to eat delicious buttery croissants.

We had such a wonderful experience learning how to make croissants and pain au chocolate and we learned so much. It was an intimate setting in a lovely Parisian apartment and we enjoyed our homemade pastries for days while in Paris. Would highly recommend doing this class even if you never attempt to make these at home, it's nice to learn the process and understand how it's made!

We had such an incredible experience making croissants and pains au chocolate with Joannie. She was so helpful and fun, giving great, clear, and helpful instructions. We were on a short trip to Paris (mother and three daughters) and this was one of the first things we did. We left with TONS of pasties that we made, and ate them for breakfast and snacks for the rest of our trip!
Joannie spent so much time offering advice on what to add to our itinerary, recommending markets to visit, restaurants to eat at, and even some transportation advice.
I cannot recommend this tour enough! I already can't wait to do it again!
Thanks, Joannie!

We had a wonderful time at this class. Most other experiences we could find about learning to make croissants sounded like we could see the operation in a bakery but not really learn to make them ourselves. In contrast, this class was very hands on and each person did all of the steps. Joannie was a wonderful, kind and patient instructor. She was especially good with engaging our kids (ranging in age from 11-16), which is not always easy to do. Our family left Paris with this class being one of our favorite memories. Thanks you!

Traveled with my (snarky) 18 year old daughter for a week in Paris. This was her (and my) favorite activity. Joannie offers a wonderful experience and doing this in her quintessential Paris apartment vs a commercial kitchen made it so intimate. We learned all aspects of making croissants and pain chocolate. She has a good sense of humor and we enjoyed the conversation during baking breaks.
From the (snarky) 18 year old: this was by far the most fun thing we did aside from seeing the beauty of Paris itself. It felt very personal and engaging. She invited us into her home which I think really made it even more special as part of the experience. She gave us advice on how to properly bake and create the famous French treat croissants and pain au chocolat. She made the experience of it all very fun and engaging making sure we had a good time. As someone who loses focus or gets bored easily I can happily say this kept my attention the entire time and I would gladly do it again. Thank you for having us Joannie.

Joanne is as wonderful as her previous reviewers had said. A delightful person and a delicious amazing class! We learned so much in a nice, casual setting from a certified pastry baker and are still eating our delicious croissants and pan au chocolate the next day. Can't wait to make some when we get back home! So glad we took this class. Lots of fun and a highlight of our trip so far. Class is tres bien!

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our baking session with Joannie in October 2024. She taught us the art of baking croissants and pains au chocolat in her beautiful kitchen in a lovely part of Paris. Joannie is very personable, and a great teacher, and it was easy to follow her instructions. The time flew by quickly and at the end of our class we left with freshly baked goodies to savour and enjoy. We’d love to come back again and take another baking session with Joannie!

Joannie was exuberant, pleasant and very welcoming. She was knowledgeable and organized, and gave excellent step-by-step instructions, and made the experience easy. We thoroughly enjoyed making and eating the croissants and pain au chocolat! Bonded with the other two in the group. Excellent experience. Well worth the investment of money and time! Highly recommend Josnnie.

Joannie provided such a great, personalized experience. Only 7 of us in the class at the same time, we learned all the steps of making croissants and pains au chocolat, most of which were hands on. At the end we had multiple pieces to take home along with enough to sample during class. Total time was a little over 2.5 hours. There is a (very cute) cat, in case you are allergic. Location was very convenient to the metro. Would definitely recommend as both a fun and learning experience.
