Become a French Baker for the Day

Make croissants behind the scenes at the boulangerie behind one of the best croissants in Paris, according to Vogue magazine.

The experience

More than a staple of daily life here, baking bread is a ritual – a symbol of the French way of living, and of eating, which UNESCO has seen fit to list as world heritage.

The doors of exclusive gastronomic locales rarely open to outsiders, where membership is a guarded currency. They are secret, and proud of it. For one afternoon, however, we’ll open the doors of a legendary boulangerie just for you.

Are you the next rising baker? Let’s find out.

In the Arts et Métiers quarter near the Centre Pompidou, inside the most buzzed-about boulangerie in Paris.

We go behind the scenes at a boulangerie in the Arts et Métiers quarter named best croissant in Paris by Vogue and by PARIS DEFINED magazine, and learn from the team of a Michelin Guide-listed chef and top Paris boulanger, as seen on Apple TV’s For the Love of Bread.

Under his team’s guidance we roll up our sleeves and learn, hands on, how to make croissants and pains au chocolat. The real process takes over 24 hours, so we go a little out of order to try every step. While our creations bake, we enjoy a tasting of the best pastries with coffee, then leave with a bag of treats for tomorrow’s breakfast. Private only, for up to 4 guests. Parfait for bachelor and bachelorette parties, team-building and small celebrations.
