Vegetarian or pastry classes in Paris

My wife and I are visiting Paris from Oct 25th to 30th and I want to surprise my wife with a cooking class (preferably including a market visit). We are vegetarians, so could anyone on this forum please recommend cooking classes with vegetarian dishes or pastry classes.

Thanks.

The critical question is whether you can take the classes in French. If so, there are many possibilities. I would be happy to give suggestions for those, but don't know of classes in English.

Thanks for your response. My wife does not understand french, so we are looking for classes in English.

I noticed this website and thought of you, sbhavani...

Now, I haven't taken any of their classes myself and don't know of anyone who has, but it might be a starting point for you.

I researched schools when I went to Paris with a group. I remembered that I had seen this one:

Thanks everyone for your replies. My wife and I (not to mention our 5 month old) had a wonderful time in Paris. I arranged for a pastry class with Chef Eric Fraudeau at Cook'n With Class (www.cooknwithclass.com)

My wife thoroughly enjoyed the class and I enjoyed the wonderful pastries she made. We strongly recommend Eric and Cook'n With Class.
