    Great activity

    It is really fun and interactive. The macarons were amazing. The instructor was very nice and it’s a great atmosphere

    Lacking Luster and Hands on Experience

    My 10 year old daughter and I took this class and it was mediocre to say the least. The pastry chef mostly demonstrated as we observed. We took turns squeezing the shell out of a premixed bag as a group. For our own macarons, the shells were premade and we mixed the filling with pre-measured ingredients. Overall, the class was a bit boring. However, don’t miss Galleries Lafayette with great shopping, its amazing stained glass roof, incredible rooftop sign and amazing view.

    Macaron Making Class- Families

    Our instructor was informed and good with the kids. Unfortunately, the Galeries Lafayette did not provide any direction on how to find the class (which was in an obscure location), and the staff did not know how to help. Some seemed irritated with the question. As a result, many families were late. One even missed half of the class. This seems like an easy fix. Hopefully, the Galeries will provide updated and specific directions for families.

    Macaroon Experience with Kids

    This experience was just OK. Kids made filling for macaroon. A lot of class was observing vs. doing! We enjoyed other activities at Gallery Lafayette after class - glass walk, rooftop, and souvenir shopping on the 7th floor!

    Paris

    The whole experience was amazing. All of us enjoyed it a lot. Heard about its history but when we had the experience we felt that as a first timer visitor we are happy.

    Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

    How much does Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette cost?

    +

    Prices start at €20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

    Is Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Paris?

    +

    Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Paris?

    +

    April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Paris?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette?

    +

    Included: Snacks; and At least 4 macarons to eat on the spot or share with your friends. Not included: Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Family experience-Macaron Bakery Class at Galeries Lafayette?

    +
