Paris - The whole experience was amazing. All of us enjoyed it a lot. Heard about its history but when we had the experience we felt that as a first timer visitor we are happy.

Amazing! - A highlight of our trip! The chef was amazing. Great with the kids and made everything look easy. Our macarons were better than Laduree!

Fun Cooking Class for families - We attended this class with 2 adults and 3 kids. It was a perfect introduction to making macarons. The instructor was very knowledgeable and great with the kids.

Excellent - What a fun experience for our whole family. Very glad we took time to do this and we learned how to make macarons at home!

Just ok - We attended the class as a family of four. The instructor demonstrated making the exterior of a macaron and offered guests a chance to pipe one shell. Then we were supplied with previously cooked shells and we were able to mix a few ingredients to make the filling for two types of macarons. My children seemed to enjoy it. I thought it was too expensive for not making the whole macaron.

Backing class with no baking - There is no baking in this class it’s watching, with pre/backed macarons. All we did was mix. We attended class at the end of the day at 5pm. We felt the instructor did not want to be there. I’m sure there are more authentic and interactive classes around.

Paying to supervise your child - The instructor was just ok, definitely does not specialize in children and this is not a child specific class. This was expensive for what it was- they do not even offer a separate set of macarons for the parent(s), so paying $60 per adult to supervise your own child for an hour while they mix butter for 10 minutes is absolutely excessive. $150 for 6 mediocre macarons - not worth it.

Not worth it - We purchased tickets for 2 adults and 3 children thinking we would all get to make macaroons for the price we paid. Only the kids got to participate and they only got to mix the filling for the macaroons and nothing else. Very hard to find and no one in the Galleries knew anything about the class or where to go. Definitely would not recommend.

Not worth the money. - Not worth the money for how little we actually “baked”. Expensive price tag to stand and watch the instructor make the macarons. She was super knowledgeable and nice, however the class should be long enough that attendees can actually measure ingredients and *bake*. We “assembled” four macarons which consisted of taking a whisk and mixing pre measured ingredients and then putting the filling on the two halves. Super hard to find the place. Go elsewhere unless you like paying a lot for little value.

Didn't get services paid for - Bought 4 tickets, 2 adults, 2 children, and only the 2 kids were allowed to participate. I asked twice for 4 place settings and was told no, so we'll be charging a portion of this back to our credit card as we didn't receive the services paid for. In addition, the woman's English was not great and she was very soft spoken, made it nearly impossible to understand her. Overall very disappointing
