Paris Behind the Scenes Macaron Baking Class

You'll master the technique from almond meringue to delicate shells, taste your finished batch with refreshments, and leave with a box of your own creations. Perfect for those wanting to crack one of France's trickiest confections and take home edible proof of the afternoon.

What to expect

Arrive 15 minutes early to settle in. The class moves through macaron-making step by step: you'll work with almond powder and meringue, pipe shells onto trays, and watch them develop their signature feet in the oven. While your batch bakes, you'll taste professionally made versions and enjoy refreshments. Expect to stand throughout—comfortable shoes are wise. The recipe is fixed with flavour options only; no dietary substitutions are possible. Young children can observe but won't handle ingredients.

Good to know

Arrive early; late arrivals cannot join. The pâtisserie uses wheat alongside almond products, so cross-contamination is possible despite gluten-free macarons. Gratuities not included. Service animals permitted. Requires sustained standing.
