“I booked this experience for 4 adults and 4 children (ages 8-11). Our guide, Igor, was warm and funny. We were welcomed with a breakfast of delicious croissants. Then he took us downstairs to roll and bake baguettes. He knew how to captivate both children and adults. We learned a little history about the products we made and ate. The best part was taking our hot baguettes home! I highly recommend this experience.”
