Pastry Class in Bordeaux
DESCRIPTION
Enjoy gourmet and friendly workshop based around emblematic pastries from France and the Bordeaux region.
You’ll leave with lots of advice, recipes and your own creations.
The aim is to refine your knowledge so that you can reproduce at home the recipes you have learned in class.
Each participant makes their own pastries. When a pastry is in the oven, you will make a second pastry or a cream that will then be poached in the cake.
At the end of the workshop, you can discuss about your experience.
You can also enjoy a little gourmet break over a glass of homemade apple juice and a tasting session.
Throughout the week, we offer you several classes. You will participate in one of these workshops based on the timetable provided by our head pastry chef:

Delights in Bordeaux
We loved touring the market and enjoying wine and cheese. The canales were the best we had in Bordeaux. We enjoyed seeing the first organic food store in Bordeaux in seeing its wares. We were introduced to some fruit we had never seen before. Stephanie chose great places for us to be and was a delight. We toured the first day we were in Bordeaux and Stephanie gave us a great template for the rest of our stay. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, which was great for two history buffs.

A wonderful way to discover Bordeaux
We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour and would highly recommend it !Our guide Isabelle has carefully selected each stop , and we were introduced to small producers who pride themselves on the quality of their food. We tasted coffee, chocolate , bread , cheese , and charcuterie and learnt about the history of Bordeaux while meandering through the beautiful old town.

Wonderful
My daughter and I really enjoyed this tour. The neighborhood of Belleville, like all of Paris has wonderful history that has been brought into the present. My favorite stop was the Boulangerie. I had the best croissant of my entire life. It was warm, fresh, flaky on the outside and soft buttery layers within. Yum! We learned so much about the background of the food at each stop. This was a great way to kick-off our time in Paris.

Awesome Tour!
This is a must do when visiting Paris especially for food & wine lovers. Our tour guide, Norig, was very friendly & knowledgeable. All the places we stopped at were amazing and we were able to buy anything we wanted to take home. Highly recommend!

Tour interesante
Es una experiencia distinta a otros tour guiados. Se visitan comercios especializados en temas gastronómicos poco frecuentes y por ello muy curiosos. Es bastante original. Se aparta de lo habitual y en grupos muy reducidos
