Perfect Paris adventure
This was an excellent class. The instructor was great! I wish I had booked another class and learned to make croissants!

Very interactive and...
Very interactive and engaging! Ann made the class a great time and catered to the group whether you were an avid baker or first timer. We loved the small group size and intimate setting. After the class, we all got to sit down and enjoy our creations over coffee and tea. We took home over 50 macaroons!

The Best! Experience Paris Culture through Macarons Baking
Great experience and a wonderful family memory for us- mom with 2 college age son and daughter from USA. Lovely facility and surrounding neighborhood. We made so many macarons and they were so delicious! Plenty to give to friends and take home with us. Even made a new friend while we were in the class. Our instructor was so knowledgeable, friendly, step by step instruction and a great conversationalist with tons of tips for us to use in the future. We have such an appreciation for the craft and time and love put into macarons. The time flew by and everything felt so comfortable and natural at the right pace. We enjoyed the coffee/tea with macarons table conversation time afterwards too. We give 10 stars
Response from the operator: Bonjour Christina, thank you for your wonderful 10 stars review of your Macarons Class in Paris at Le Foodist with your Chef Anne! I am so happy you enjoyed her step by step guidance, along with all the tips she provided - as well as the opportunity to learn by making a lot of macarons (each participant typically makes 30 ...). So you are right, there are lots to take back. And I am equally happy you enjoyed how everything felt comfortable, natural and at the right place from the coffee/tea at the end of class to taste your macarons to creating this great family memory. We will look forward to the next opportunity to welcoming you! Merci beaucoup, Fred

We recommend Anne!!!!!
Le Foodist was fantastic! This was our second time coming and we did the Macaron class with Anne. We would highly recommend this as an activity to do while in Paris (whether you are a beginning or a pro!).

A great activity!
This was such a wonderful experience! Stephane and the entire staff were so very welcoming. A great activity that is authentic and different from all the over crowded tourist traps. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons cost?
+
Prices start at $129 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 Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 681 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons?
+
Around 238 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paris Cooking Class: Learn How to Make Macarons 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 Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). 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.
