3.45 min Chocolate Workshop at Choco-Story Paris

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 51 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $60

Spend 45 minutes with a chocolatier using melted milk and dark chocolate to decorate bars, marshmallows, orange peel, and other treats. Your ticket also includes museum access, tastings, and a virtual demonstration. The small workshop suits children seven and older, but expect decorating rather than chocolate making from scratch.

“Our son enjoyed it that is why I’m giving it 4 stars. Like some other people said, this is more of dipping chocolate instead of making chocolate. My husband was frustrated because our chef provided more instruction and details to the people who spoke French than those that spoke English. Wish there had been more toppings to choose from. I would not do this tour again.”
