VOYAGES LLC · The Marais, 4th
A guide takes you behind the counter of Miss Manon, a bakery on rue Saint-Antoine in the Marais, to see how bread is made and bake a baguette, then sits you down to croissants and pain au chocolat. It is a bakery tour with breakfast, not a croissant class: book it for the ovens and the breakfast, not for laminating dough.
Miss Manon is a bakery at 87 rue Saint-Antoine in the 4th, close to Saint-Paul metro on line 1. VOYAGES LLC runs this two-hour tour with a live guide in English or French, and nine guests at most. The guide takes you into the back of the shop to see how a real bakery works and how a baguette is made, and you leave with a baguette of your own.
Guests report that they shape bread themselves, and one took home "a variety of different types of bread", some of it already baked. The morning ends with a traditional French breakfast of croissants and pain au chocolat. Families book it a lot: one parent wrote that it was a highlight of the trip and that her kids loved it.
Read the title carefully. The croissants here are breakfast, and the dough you touch is bread dough. If you want to laminate and shape croissants yourself, book the chef studio instead, or, for a bakery setting with croissant dough, the working bakery class, which is $18 cheaper.
