What to Expect

This cooking class in Avignon takes place from 9:30 to 15:00 in a historic mansion. The class begins in the original 19th-century wood-fired kitchen, used by the chefs to demonstrate and guide participants through the preparation of a full meal. The setting provides a quiet and professional space to learn about French cuisine.

You’ll work alongside a local chef to prepare a complete three-course meal. Recipes may vary depending on seasonal products, but they always reflect French culinary traditions and Provençal produce.

Example menus may include green and white asparagus with vinaigrette and mousse; roast capon in fish broth; or lamb with thyme, celery and anchovy. Desserts may feature dark chocolate soufflé with pear, or strawberries in olive oil with mint and white chocolate.

Throughout the session, the chef will share methods, tips, and techniques to help you prepare each dish with precision. Aprons, utensils, and recipe cards are provided.

After the class, you’ll sit at the communal table and enjoy the meal you helped create. A sommelier selects wines from the Rhône Valley to pair with the food. This cooking class in Avignon is a complete experience combining technique, flavour, and a shared moment with professionals.

This activity is suitable for people looking to cook in France with local chefs and is open to all levels. Optional upgrades are available on-site for themed sessions, such as truffle, lobster, or classes with Michelin-starred chefs.
