In our past posts, we’ve given a quick nod to Le Cours de Pâtisserie, but honestly? It’s time to stop treating this like a "class" and start calling it what it really is: The Ultimate French Kitchen Party!
Over the years we've had guests ask us about 'cooking classes' available in Tuscany & Provence... As we researched this for them, we found that most cooking classes in these areas were 3 to 4 hours long and you of course had to drive to their kitchens, which often added at least another hour, and typically cost around €150 to €200 per person... Most of our guests didn't want to sacrifice a whole day of their vacations and of course that's a chunk of change... So we asked our Chefs if they could put together a short class for our guests at the Villa... Fabien & Coralie run this shorter 2 hour class in the afternoon after we return from our Touring activities, so you don't have to sacrifice your "Free Day" to take the class... And they only charge €50... These programs are run by our Chefs, and the moneys go to them, not us...
Forget Everything You Know About "Cooking Classes"
Hands-On (and Glasses Up!)
- This is a Masterclass in the truest sense, but with a truly French twist... Chef Fabien and Coralie don't just "show" you how to make a delicate French dessert; they get you right into the thick of it!
- The Class: learning The Classic French Tarte Tatin
- The Immersion: You’ll be kneading and folding side-by-side with these local masters who live and breathe French pastry.
- The Bubbles: We call it an Unlimited Champagne Bar for a reason... Whether you need a little "liquid courage" to tackle that perfect pastry peak or just want to toast to your new friends, the glass is never empty!
The Rhythm: Don't be surprised if the whisking turns into a little impromptu dancing... it always does! When the music is right and the Champagne is flowing, this kitchen becomes the best dance floor in France!
The 'Chef' Treatment
Interaction that Feels Like Family
The best part of Adventures To Provence's "Slow Travel" philosophy is the connection to the locals we have made... Fabien and Coralie aren't just our Chefs & our instructors; over the years they have become our close friends! They will be your hosts, your mentors, and by the end of the two hours, your new French friends! You’ll drink champagne, tell jokes, laugh and dance... you’ll learn "secrets" that have been passed down through generations, and you’ll walk away with a new friends & a genuine piece of French culture!
This experience is an absolute highlight of our time in Provence, and because it’s so immersive and personal, Fabien and Coralie need to prepare specifically for our group.
The Details: > * Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours of pure joy.
Investment: Only €50 per person (includes the whole party; the class, supplies, unlimited French Champagne, and your authentic Le Cours de Pâtisserie logo apron).
