Experience Cooking classes in the best of
Paris with Withlocals

"A friend had the opportunity to join Chef Jean Yves in his home where they curated a 5 course menu. It was an amazing experience I hope everyone enjoys while in Paris! "

"One of my best experience on my latest trip to Paris. A private, up close and personal affair with macarons, with Chef Jean Yves of course. Thank you for a wonderful morning, and all the sharings on how to get the perfect macarons, all the time! I love the fact that not only do I bake beautiful macarons in your kitchen, but also when I get back home!"

"We had the absolute best experience with Chef Jean Yves at his private restaurant! His macaron class felt more authentically “Parisian” than anything else we did while we were in Paris. From the warm welcome, to the incredible ambience, to the delectable champagne and macarons, this experience tops our list of must-dos! "

"Everything about the private dining was exceptional! Excellent food setting and the host puts on a dinner worth the price of admission! "

"My husband loves to make macarons and wanted some tweaks to improve the process. Well, Jean-Yves entirely changed his mind on how to perfect the process. Now home, we can hardly wait to jump in and try our new tips and tricks. It was such a delightful macaron class, in a beautiful setting, we decided to come to one of his dinners the following week. The French/Asian fusion was delightful and our tastebuds are so incredibly happy we returned, bringing along some friends to experience the ambiance and food with us. Jean-Yves, and Fred, were the perfect hosts. When we return to Paris we will definitely have dinner again with them. "

"Jean-Yves was an incredible host. He provided an exquisite dining experience that surpassed all our expectations. Well worth the money. "

"Everything about our experience was wonderful — location, the kitchen, the class itself. Jean-Yves is wonderful!"

"My daughter and i had a wonderful exclusive tutorial in how to expertly make French macarons, we were given a recipe card and I took many notes to help me remember the details of the techniques we were shown. We were then treated to a gourmet tasting of what was created with additional gastronomic flourishes (and champagne!), and we took the remainder of the batch of macarons away with us. This was a beautifully tailored and exclusive experience that I would recommend to anyone!"

"We booked an afternoon Macaroon cooking class and had such an amazing time that we wanted to come back for dinner. We were fortunate that there was room for our party of 5. From start to finish Jean Yves and Fred were incredible! His food is like nothing you have ever eaten and the love and care he puts into every aspect is not to be missed. A true highlight of our Paris trip!"

"Jean was fantastic! He was extremely professional and he is incredibly passionate in his craft. We learned a lot from him and we would definitely recommend this to others. "
