Paris: Sweet Crêpe Cooking Class in Real Crêperie Kitchen

Summary

Paris crêpe making class in real chef’s kitchen with tea

You’ll step into a real Paris crêperie closed just for your group, learn hands-on how to make sweet crêpes with a local chef guiding you through every step. Enjoy your fresh creations over coffee or tea in a warm kitchen atmosphere, and take home both a small gift and the recipe by email — plus maybe some new confidence with a frying pan.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was nervous about flipping my first crêpe. The pan felt heavier than I expected, and there was this faint smell of butter and sugar already hanging in the air when we walked into the closed-up crêperie. Our host, Camille, greeted us like old friends — she had flour on her apron and this easy laugh that made me feel less worried about embarrassing myself. She showed us how to whisk the batter “just enough” (I definitely overdid it at first), and then told us stories about growing up near Brittany while we waited for things to rest. It felt more like being in someone’s home than a class.

There were only six of us, so it never got loud — just the gentle scrape of spatulas and some awkward French from me (“crêpière”? Li laughed when I tried to say it). Camille moved around the counter, showing us how thin to pour, how not to panic if the edges crisped up too fast. She let us try again if we messed up — which I did. Twice. The best part was tasting our own sweet crêpes right there at the table, with coffee and tea poured out of these chunky white mugs. There was something about eating them hot off the pan that made them taste different than any I’d had outside.

At the end, Camille handed out little gifts (mine was a tiny wooden spoon) and promised to email us her recipe — which she did, later that night. We took photos together by the window where you could see the street outside starting to get busy again. I still think about that buttery smell every time I walk past a bakery now in Paris. Funny how something simple sticks with you.
