Located in the vibrant 18th arrondissement of Paris, Cook'n With Class offers a standout culinary experience tailored for families looking to connect through hands-on pastry making. Their Croissant en Famille class invites kids aged 6 to 12 and an accompanying adult to dive into the art of crafting authentic French croissants and pain au chocolats under the watchful eye of an expert pastry chef.
Held at 6 Rue Baudelique, near the Jules Joffrin metro station, this 2.5-hour workshop delivers more than just baking skills—it gives families a unique opportunity to break bread together in one of the world’s culinary capitals. The setting is informal yet professional, blending the intimate feel of a dedicated Parisian kitchen with a lively atmosphere perfect for young learners.
Paris’s rich gastronomic heritage underscores this experience. Croissants, with their buttery, flaky layers crafted from time-honored folds and butter lamination, are as emblematic to the city as its historic boulevards. Learning to make these delicacies from scratch brings a fresh appreciation for French baking tradition.
Participants don aprons and start by mastering the dough, then shape and fill their pastries, ready to be baked on site. At the end, the fruits of their labor can be savored with a drink before packing up leftovers to enjoy at home, allowing families to share their Parisian memories—and recipes—long after the class ends.
What sets Cook'n With Class apart is their specialized approach to family learning, creating a welcoming environment that encourages curiosity and creativity. This hands-on workshop fits perfectly into any Paris itinerary aiming to blend culture, cuisine, and quality family time. For travelers seeking a genuine taste of local life combined with an approachable craft, this class is an ideal choice.
