Cooking workshops in Paris with Autentik

Know-How & Indulgence

Paris charms visitors not only with its remarkable history but also with the richness of its culinary traditions. Joining a cooking class is a delightful and friendly way to experience this French art de vivre and to discover the craftsmanship that has made French gastronomy famous around the world.

Today, we invite you to extend this immersion into French savoir-faire by stepping inside a traditional Parisian bakery.

What could be more memorable during a Parisian getaway than swapping your traveler’s outfit for a chef’s apron? We have selected for you one of the most authentic cooking workshops in Paris, designed by Autentik, where you can uncover the secrets behind some of France’s most iconic specialties.

A Sensory Awakening: The Art of Bread and Viennoiseries

France is a land of flavours, and its bakeries are truly at the heart of everyday life. Imagine yourself early in the morning, in the warm atmosphere of a neighbourhood bakery, surrounded by the comforting aromas of fresh butter and rising dough.

A True Bakery Immersion

More than just a class, this experience is a genuine introduction to French craftsmanship. Under the guidance of a passionate artisan baker, you will discover that baking is almost a choreography of gestures. You will learn essential techniques and the patience required to laminate dough, the secret that gives croissants their delicate, airy layers, as well as the precise movements needed to shape the perfect crisp baguette.

Your creations of the day:

• The traditional baguette: discover why it remains the pride of French tables.

• Croissants and pain au chocolat: learn the classic techniques for perfectly golden, buttery pastries.

• Financiers: delicate almond cakes, ideal for recreating a taste of France at home.

For Dessert: The Macaron Workshop at “Chez Manon”

For lovers of elegance and colour, your culinary experience in Paris continues at Chez Manon, the bakery that supplies our breads and pastries for breakfast at the hotel. In this historic setting, pastry-making becomes a refined craft.

The Excellence of Ingredients

Here, special attention is given to the quality of ingredients, many of them organic, to create the famous French macaron. You will learn the delicate technique of macaronage, the precise mixing method that ensures a smooth shell and the signature ruffled “foot.”

At the end of this delightful experience, you will not only leave with a box of your own creations but also with the story behind this legendary pastry and the memory of a truly special moment in the heart of Paris.
