This was a very fun way to spend an hour and a half! The guide was clear and patient as she demonstrated preparing the shell ingredients and showed us how to pipe them. We were then given pre made shells to create 2 fillings for, and got to learn how to pipe and fill our macarons. This meant we got to take home 4 delicious macarons that we prepared! It was a fun and simple class, and I personally enjoyed the hands on moments the best. This would be possible for guests of all ages and skill levels. I would recommend giving yourself a few extra minutes to find the location sighing Galeries Lafayette as it is a bit of a maze.
