Paris Croissant and Breakfast Pastry Class with a French Chef

About this tour

Master the craft of French croissants in a three-hour hands-on class with a professional pastry chef near Montmartre. Working in an intimate group of no more than six, you'll learn the lamination technique and dough chemistry that produces that coveted shatter-and-crumb texture. The studio provides all equipment and ingredients. You'll bake your own batch to eat warm on-site with tea or coffee, or take home in provided bags.

Highlights

• Learn lamination secrets from a trained French pastry chef
• Small groups of maximum 6 ensure personal attention
• Make and eat your own croissants same day
• Studio location near Sacré-Coeur, walking distance from Montmartre
• Take home English recipe cards for future baking

What to expect

Expect a structured but relaxed atmosphere where technique matters. Your chef will guide you through each stage—mixing, lamination, folding, and shaping—explaining the science of butter layers and yeast activation. Some prep work happens before class to ensure croissants finish baking during your session. You'll handle the dough yourself, make mistakes, and refine your approach with live feedback. By hour three, you'll have golden pastries to enjoy with a hot drink or pack away. Bring comfortable shoes and tie back long hair.
