About this tour
This session visits the Croissant Museum, dedicated to Poznan's best known pastry, the St Martin's croissant. You see the small exhibition explaining its EU-protected status and a demonstration table showing the layered poppy seed filling that defines it. It stays inside one small, specific museum.
I start with a sound check near the entrance, then move through the exhibition before finishing at the demonstration table. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards on where the tradition is protected by law.
This suits anyone curious about protected food traditions or Polish pastry specifically. It also pairs well with the call session for the baker's own perspective.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Poznan, showing you Inside the Croissant Museum and The Recipe, Explained live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
