Incredible cooking class at Ferrandi! Highly Recommend!
An amazing cooking experience for our family! We booked this on our last full day in Paris as a way to end with an authentic French experience and it did not disappoint. We cooked Roasted Duck breast with vegetables and it was amazing. Our chef explained the cooking process, gave us lots of tips that we will use at home and helped us create an amazing meal that will be a family favorite. Our teenagers got to experience cooking their own meal and ate everything, even the vegetables. The entire experience was a highlight of our trip, especially with taking home the recipe, apron and hat! Thank you so much for an amazing end to our trip!

A must do for any foodie visiting Paris! We saved this experience for our last full day, so we can end our trip on this highest note and it did not disappointment. Our teenagers loved the ability to cook their own meal and our chef was amazing. He have us tips. guided us through French cooking skills and gave us some great tips for visiting Paris. We made this our lunch and every one cleaned their plates, our teenagers even ate all the veggies! Possibly one of the best meals we had, and we got to take the recipe home to try to recreate it!

Great cooking class in Paris
Cooking class in a beautiful modern kitchen with a great chef. Well organized and worth it. Plus the meal you eat afterwards is top notch. This is our second time doing this and would gladly do it again.

Tasty Quiche
It was not a hands on experience, the chef did most of the cooking, we were expecting a more interactive experience. Nevertheless, the quiche was delicious and the chef was very nice.

Paris Cooking Class with Ferrandi chef at Galeries Lafayette: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Paris Cooking Class with Ferrandi chef at Galeries Lafayette cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 with Ferrandi chef at Galeries Lafayette take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 with Ferrandi chef at Galeries Lafayette worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 43 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 Paris Cooking Class with Ferrandi chef 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 Paris Cooking Class with Ferrandi chef at Galeries Lafayette suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paris Cooking Class with Ferrandi chef at Galeries Lafayette?
+
Around 15 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paris Cooking Class with Ferrandi chef 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 Paris Cooking Class with Ferrandi chef at Galeries Lafayette?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Class lead by a renowned chef; and French cooking class. Not included: Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Paris Cooking Class with Ferrandi chef at Galeries Lafayette?
+
