Bake in a working Montmartre bakery, learn French techniques from a professional baker, and take home a baguette and financier.

About this tour

Step inside a real Montmartre bakery for a hands-on introduction to the craft and stories behind French baking. In this 90-minute Paris French Baking Class, a professional baker guides a small group of up to eight participants through practical techniques and local traditions.

Shape dough, learn to laminate pastry, and sample classic breads and cakes as you discover why the baguette became a French cultural symbol and hear about the origins of the croissant. The working bakery setting offers a more intimate experience than a standard classroom, with direct instruction and plenty of opportunities to taste along the way. You’ll leave with a baguette and financier of your own, plus techniques and inspiration to bring French flavors into your home kitchen.

Arrive 15 minutes before the start and let the bakery staff know you’re there for the class. Book your Paris French Baking Class to spend a morning or afternoon learning, tasting, and baking in Montmartre.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.93 from 460 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.7. Top 5% in Paris means it ranks in the top 5% of tours in Paris by this score.
