Both our experiences with Localers were very good. The Eiffel tour as well as the Macaron class! We will definitely reach out to you next time we plan something in Europe!

Noémie est fantastique! We loved her from the moment we walked into her atelier! She was so friendly and made us feel at home immediately. Her instructions were clear and very understandable. She made macaron making seem très simple. Her personality was so bubbly and happy! We wanted to take her home with us! Merci beaucoup, Noémie!

We loved our macaron experience with Noemie. She had a wonderful, positive attitude and was very encouraging of us and also our children. She spoke great English and the class was a highlight of our trip to Paris!

F.A.Q.

I do not speak French. Will the class be held in English?
The class will be held in English, with a beautiful French accent of course!

Is this class appropriate for young children?
We encourage families to enjoy this class together, however if your children are younger than 10 years, please get in touch with our customer services team prior to booking.

Will there be extra treats to take back to my hotel/apartment?
You bet! Each batch you make will be large enough to not only taste test your masterpieces during class, but also to take away for future decadence during your Paris stay.

There’s a certain macaron flavor I’m interested in making. Can I request it?
Normally we leave the recipes to the discretion of our chef according to what’s appropriate for the class. However, feel free to request a specific flavor when you book your tour and we’ll see if we can make it happen.
