About This Tour
Set in a beautifully restored 17th-century space in the heart of Bordeaux, this workshop offers a rare chance to craft the city’s iconic pastry—the canelé—from scratch. While canelés are sold across the city, including at the famed Baillardran and local favorite La Toque Cuivrée, few places invite you to make them yourself using traditional copper molds. Led entirely in English by native speakers—who are also locals able to translate life in France—this class blends hands-on technique with cultural insight into Bordeaux’s rich culinary heritage. Offering a warm, immersive setting where guests connect with local traditions, ask questions freely, and savor what they’ve made, this experience goes beyond baking. Guests enjoy not only a taste of Bordeaux but an insider’s view into French culture—all in a space designed for comfort, creativity, and connection. Ideal for food enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.
