France

My niece and I attended this terrific workshop. We learned a lot and had tons of fun. The bread and pastries were amazing. It was great to get behind the scenes of a real French bakery. Chef Didier was wonderful!"

"very informative and fun activity. English translaton was easy to understand and Chef was very entertaining as well. I learned a lot. Highly recomend this acivity if you feel you have seen Paris major sights already"

"Wonderful tour. Our guide was good and gave us lots of information. The experience itself is something you cannot do on your own. I highly recommend it for families. The place was very busy but the people that work there were welcoming. You cannot get this experience in many places."

Great food and walking tour. Bread, cheese, and wine in Paris. There are worse ways to spend a morning.

I would give this 6 stars if the ratings went that high! This really was one of the highlights of our vacation. Due to scheduling issues, we ended up with a separate private tour for my family of 5, which was great given how small the boulangerie was. The tour guide was great and the folks at the boulangerie could not have been nicer or more informative. Lots of great information from the bakers and samples of warm baguettes right out of the oven! I would and probably will someday do this tour again!

There were 6 of us who met with Chef Fred, and the next 4.5 hours were a delight. First we walked 2 blocks to the morning market, perused what was available and came up with a menu. Back to his home we went, where a long, table greeted us...first used for prep and then for dining. He walked us through techniques for mincing shallots, not fingers, and a multitude of other helpful hints. Each of us got to try out each step of preparing and assembling our chicken. sage and prosciutto rollups, beet and goat cheese towers and accompanying vegetables. After we had all eaten, he walked us through the preparation of a passion fruit souffle, reminding us that the guests wait for the souffle, not the other way around. Truly an enjoyable morning...
