Trip Details
Your 4 hands-on cooking classes will take place in a variety of kitchens throughout central Avignon and the Provencal countryside so you’ll discover all the different facets of the local cuisine. Visit Les Halles, a traditional Provencal food market full of farm products including vegetables, fruit, cheeses, honey, wines, flowers, and poultry, and learn how to create traditional Provencal cuisine. In one cooking class, set up shop in a 19th-century kitchen and work around a huge wood-block table. The kitchen’s original stove is fired up with oak wood three hours before class even begins, and you’ll discover authentic traditions as you prepare menus that feature traditional Provencal and French recipes. In Avignon, you’ll also visit a charming restaurant and discover how to pair wines with your meals as you learn from the chef, who is passionate about using local flavors and infusing them with something exotic.
