“November 9,2025 I attended a French macaron baking class at Le Foodist. Stephane was the instructor and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. I learned new techniques to help make fail safe macarons which I am very excited to try once I return home. The class consisted of 6 participants. We got paired up and then we each made a different flavour of macaron. Stephane was great at showing us each step along the way and sharing many tips and tricks.

Make French macarons in a small Paris class at Place des Vosges. Choose flavors, bake, and take home a box of treats.
“Best class ever! I have taken a few cooking classes while traveling and this was well organized, informative, and fun. The teacher was able to explain and help my kiddo with some of the steps/techniques, but she did it in a way that my kiddo didn't realize she was being helped which made a world of difference. She is very independent and likes to do things herself. We are so proud of our finished macaroons and can't wait to try this on our own back home. Merci!”
