Discover your inner ‘boulanger’ at Didier Lavry’s bakery in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Take a hands-on class to learn the art of making and baking authentic French bread and éclairs. Didier is a passionate and professional baker who knew from a young age that he was destined for the world of baking. His bakery, Boulangerie Le Petit Mitron, is located in the heart of Paris - a family-run venture showcasing Didier's skill for crafting delectable breads and pastries in the back, while his wife warmly welcomes customers at the front.
After an early career in industrial bread-making, Didier realised he would prefer to take his passion in a more fulfilling direction. He has been honing his craft of artisan baking using local, high-quality ingredients ever since, and now he is opening his bakery kitchen to share his expertise with you. Stepping inside his boulangerie, get ready to learn exactly how the French make such delicious bread and pastries when you follow Didier’s tips and demonstrations.
This private baking experience allows you to go behind the scenes of Boulangerie Le Petit Mitron, discovering the history of iconic French staples such as the baguette and choux pastry. Don your apron - a keepsake for you to take home - and get hands-on, creating your own baguette and éclair under Didier's expert guidance. To finish, raise a celebratory glass of champagne with Didier to toast the day's achievements in true French style.
