French Cooking Classes in France – One & Three Day Experiences
Montmorillon stole my heart the first time I visited in the middle of winter 2020—and now, years later, we’re lucky enough to call it home. It’s a town full of charm, history, and, of course, incredible food, and I love sharing its flavors and stories with visitors.
Now, I invite you to experience authentic French cuisine through our hands-on cooking classes. Join us for a one-day summer lunch class, or dive deeper with a three-day summer workshop, which includes cooking, tasting, and a guided tour of nearby markets and charming local towns.
In the autumn, our seasonal classes continue with an all-day market-focused cooking class, where we explore fresh, local ingredients and prepare a full French meal together. For those wanting a truly immersive experience, the three-day autumn workshop pairs cooking classes with a trip to the fabulous market in Limoges, discovering the very best seasonal produce and specialties the region has to offer.
Whether you’re visiting from abroad or simply seeking a memorable culinary adventure, these classes are designed to teach you practical French cooking skills, immerse you in local flavors, and leave you inspired to cook like a French chef.
