Private Pastry Classes & Authentic Baking Experiences in Paris
I am Sophie, a certified French pastry chef (CAP Pâtissier) and the founder of Chez Marisette, offering private pastry classes in Paris for international travelers seeking an authentic and intimate culinary experience.
After spending nearly ten years in purchasing and marketing, I realized I wanted a life with direct purpose and connection. I followed my passion, trained in pastry at Atelier des Chefs in Paris, and earned my pastry diploma. That’s when I created Chez Marisette — to share my love of French pastry with people from all over the world.
Baking is not just technique — it’s joy, confidence and togetherness. Over the years I have welcomed travelers who came to Paris not just to taste pastries, but to learn how to make them.
An Authentic Pastry Experience in Paris
At Chez Marisette, you don’t just take a class — you enter my home kitchen in the 15th arrondissement of Paris (near Eiffel Tower and André Citroën park) and participate in a private, tailor-made experience.
This is not a large group workshop in a commercial kitchen.
It’s a hands-on Paris pastry experience, personalized to your pace and curiosity — perfect for families, couples, and small groups seeking something truly memorable.
My guests often tell me they have tried to make macarons at home — and failed.
My approach is simple: I make French pastry clear, accessible, and achievable.
Through step-by-step guidance and structured explanations, I help each guest understand the techniques behind macarons, croissants, and classic French pastries, so they leave Paris confident and capable of recreating them at home.
Why People Choose Chez Marisette
Together we make French pastry simple and joyful. I take the time to explain techniques clearly and patiently — turning intimidating skills into beautiful results you can recreate at home.
Our classes are:
