About this activity

Spend a morning sourcing ingredients at Avignon's vibrant local markets with a professional chef, then return to the kitchen to prepare and enjoy a three-course lunch featuring regional Provence specialities. This immersive 5.5-hour experience bridges market culture and hands-on cooking, offering genuine insight into how French chefs select seasonal produce and pair dishes with wine.

The Chef will accompany you to introduce you to all his favourite producers. You will sneak between the stalls of cheese makers, fishmongers, butchers, bakers, fruits and vegetables producers, and he will buy the products necessary for the realization of the recipies. You may be tempted to do some personal shopping (market time, about 1 hour).

Return to the Workshop, take a drink, and put apron and chef's hat (provided). The cooking class begins.

The tasting of the recipes prepared together with the Chef is done at the table and in the harmony of the dishes and wines with explanations concerning the agreements with the wine.

You can "debrief" with him what has been seen and prepare throughout lunch, and ask him any questions you want.
