An Exclusive Evening at Le Panier: The Art of French Mont Blanc

An Exclusive Evening at Le Panier: The Art of French Mont Blanc

Demonstration & Tasting – with Chef Victoria
January 16, 2026 at 06:00 PM – 2 hrs – Seattle, WA

This January, one of Seattle’s most iconic French bakeries, Le Panier, highlights its Signature Pastry of the month: the Mont Blanc.

We invite you to join us for an exceptional evening inside one of Seattle’s most iconic French bakeries. For the very first time, this historic Pike Place Market location opens its doors after regular hours to welcome a small group of French pastry enthusiasts for an exclusive Mont Blanc demonstration led by Chef Victoria.

The Mont Blanc

Inspired by the silhouette of the Alpine mountain, the Mont Blanc is an iconic seasonal dessert of French pâtisserie. Le Panier’s signature interpretation pairs a crisp meringue base with a delicate chestnut cake, enveloped in finely textured chestnut paste. A blackcurrant coulis adds contrast and acidity, while the exterior is finished with a whipped vanilla white chocolate ganache, recalling the snow-capped summit. 

This two-hour experience is designed as a convivial moment of exchange, discovery, and immersion into the art of French pastry.
