Paris Macaron-Making Class with Fragonard Perfume Museum Visit and Alain Ducasse Chocolate Tasting

About this experience

This Paris day experience combines three guided activities: a hands-on macaron-making class at Galeries Lafayette, a visit to the Fragonard Perfume Museum, and a chocolate tasting with Alain Ducasse. The format is small-group and English-speaking throughout, with a local host managing logistics between each venue so participants move between activities without arranging their own transport or entry. For anyone planning things to do in Paris that go beyond sightseeing, this combination covers three distinct French craft traditions in a single day. The macaron workshop runs for approximately 1.5 hours inside Galeries Lafayette, led by a professional pastry chef who walks through authentic French technique from mixing almond flour to piping and assembling. All ingredients and equipment are provided, and each participant leaves with a box of the macarons they made. The Fragonard Perfume Museum segment covers the history and craft of French fragrance, guided by Fragonard staff. The session closes with a chocolate tasting curated by Alain Ducasse, one of France's most decorated chefs, whose Paris chocolate atelier is known for bean-to-bar production. Tickets cover all three activities, small-group hosting, and the take-home macaron box.
