“We met in the lobby and then went through a 10 minute tour of the museum. After that we made our own perfumes, and then we went down the stairs to the shop where our guide taught us how to identify different categories of perfume "citrus, floral, and Oriental". It was amazing and our guide was very knowledgeable. She was also enthusiastic and very good at taking and answering questions. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone coming to Pairs.”

She went over the ingredients in great detail, letting us know where they were from and how the flavor profiles worked together. As people who don’t usually “dabble” in the kitchen, we are now inspired to do so together more. Thank you Chef Carole for the truly amazing and unique experience!”

“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!”
