Grandma's secret Tarte Tatin and Madeleine Recipe

Welcome to Paris — the city of lights, art, and… pastries! We believe all the best baking recipes are born in grandma’s kitchen. Come bake with French mamies in a charming historic Parisian apartment as they let you in on some of their best secrets: from baking tips to local insights from decades of living in the “City of Lights.” • Before settling into mamie’s apartment, we’ll venture to a nearby bakery that’s popular with locals. Here, we’ll pick up a baguette to enjoy together. • Back at the apartment, we’ll get to the main action: you'll learn how to make the Tarte Tatin and madeleine: two traditional recipes that reflect the stories of amazing women in France. • Then, we’ll sit around the table to enjoy our freshly baked pastries over fragrant tea or a creamy hot chocolate, while listening to grandma's stories and admiring the views of Paris that surround the apartment. Mamie Nina, mamie Daniela, mamie Maria Pine and mamie Myrielle are waiting for you!

Get this: not only do you score a whopping 80 edited photos (yes, edited!), but you'll have them in your hands within just 6 days (and they're available for download for 7 days). Impressive, right?

It's all about you, no photo factory vibes here. This isn't your typical photoshoot – it's for the fun-loving souls, those who embrace authenticity.

We need at least two participants to make it happen! (If you’re late, don’t worry, I have a 20 min tolerance, after this time the session will be canceled automatically) Can't wait to meet you!
