  • Le Marais and its medieval lanes
  • Saint-Germain-des-Prés on the elegant Left Bank
  • Or the historic central districts near Les Halles

Over approximately 1.5–2 hours, you visit a curated selection of artisan boutiques and pastry ateliers.

You sample refined éclairs, buttery croissants, handcrafted chocolates, and signature creations from rising stars of modern French pâtisserie. Your guide shares the history of each house, production techniques, seasonal specialties, and evolving trends shaping Paris’s dessert scene today.
Beyond tasting, you gain insight into how to recognize excellence—ingredients, texture, balance, presentation. Paris reveals itself one bite at a time.

12:00pm – 2:00pm | Free Lunch & Private Transfer

Enjoy free time for lunch with personalized recommendations from your guide—whether you prefer a classic bistro, a contemporary wine bar, or something light between tastings.
Your private chauffeur then escorts you comfortably to the pastry atelier.

Inside a professional kitchen, you meet your chef for a 2.5-hour immersive macaron workshop.
You learn to create three different macaron flavors from start to finish:

  • Mastering the delicate macaronage technique
  • Piping perfectly smooth shells
  • Preparing ganaches and flavored creams
  • Achieving the ideal balance between crisp exterior and tender center

The chef guides you step by step, correcting gestures and sharing insider tips normally reserved for professionals.
