French macaron bakery class in the heart of Paris for your family:
https://haussmann.galerieslafayette.com/en/events/french-macaron-bakery-class-in-the-heart-of-paris/
Discover french pastry during your stay in Paris!
In the heart of the Opera district, in a quiet corner of Galeries Lafayette, learn the tricks of our French pastry chef for pulling off perfect macarons.
This one-and-a-half-hour class breaks down into two stages: first and just like a chef you will put on your apron to discover the steps of creating the shells and the ganache, the filling and the assembly. Then comes the convivial moment of tasting, shared with a group of 4 to 18 people.
Uncover the mysteries of the macaron and become an expert in this precious dessert.
