About us
Our concept began in 2017 with The Pastry and Bakery Classes by Maison Fleuret, imparting the secrets of indispensable French culinary craftsmanship, now universally recognized. We now have three workshops in Paris: in the Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Notre-Dame de Paris district. Each day, our team of pastry chefs passes on these skills to people from around the world.
Since 2022, we've also opened a literary Coffee & Kitchen on Rue des Saints-Pères, Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, in a former bookstore, preserving its spirit and ambiance, offering dine-in and take-out options, savory and sweet, blending past and present, here and elsewhere, mindful of our Earth and exploring the flavors of tomorrow.
In 2024, The Culinary Journeys by Maison Fleuret invite you to embark on a unique exploration of French gastronomy. These experiences blend the artistry of cuisine with cultural discovery, offering an immersive journey through iconic neighborhoods rich in history and flavor. With the guidance of passionate experts, you’ll uncover the secrets of our terroirs, the legacy of celebrated culinary figures, and the shared passion that defines French cuisine. Designed to inspire, these tours promise an enriching adventure filled with taste, tradition, and unforgettable moments.
The verb "fleurer" brings to mind the action of a pastry chef dusting flour onto there table before working the dough... This gesture, both elegant and promising, aptly illustrates our desire to highlight the work and beauties of the human hand, its ability to cultivate, transform, create, sublimate, and pass on traditions, guided by a curious, inventive, and sharp spirit akin to the "fleuret" (the foil in French) of a fencer...
Maison Fleuret offers authentic and unique moments and experiences, whether you're dropping by our literary Coffee & Kitchen to delight your taste buds and mind or choosing one of our Bakery and Pastry Classes, or Culinary Journeys. We are dedicated to providing rare moments, timeless memories, paying homage to taste, craftsmanship, refinement, arts, and the art of living, celebrating life and enlightened spirits!
