About this activity

Learn authentic Provençal cooking from a master chef in Avignon, combining a guided market tour to source seasonal ingredients with hands-on preparation and a wine-paired lunch. This immersive 5.5-hour experience connects you directly to local producers while mastering traditional French techniques.

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.

You will leave with the recipes book
