Cook With Me in Montmorillon
Vienne Cooking Days & Culinary Stays
Montmorillon is a town that stole my heart the first time we visited in the middle of winter 2020—and now, years later, we’re lucky enough to call it home. It’s a place full of charm, history, great food, and friendly faces, and I absolutely love sharing it with others. Everyone who comes to stay seems to fall for Montmorillon too—some have even returned again and again, and a few have bought property here themselves!
Now, I invite you to experience it for yourself, whether you stay for a few nights or join me just for the day.
You can choose from our Vienne Residencies—three- or five-night immersive cooking getaways based in our newly renovated townhouse in the heart of Montmorillon—or one of our full-day seasonal or festive cooking classes, perfect for locals and visitors wanting a hands-on day of French cooking without the overnight stay.
Vienne Residencies
Stay in our townhouse right in the centre of town, with accommodation for up to four guests (ideal for two couples, friends, or solo travellers who prefer privacy). All residencies include:
-
A welcome apéro and walking tour of Montmorillon
-
One or two full days of hands-on French cooking with me
-
Seasonal market visits (on five-night stays)
-
Optional day trips to explore beautiful local villages, Roman ruins, UNESCO sites, and more
Residencies are a relaxed and enriching way to cook, explore, and experience daily life in the French countryside. You’ll cook in my home kitchen, eat in our garden when the weather’s right, and enjoy the slow pace of a truly local experience.
All-Day Cooking Classes
If you're short on time or live locally, our seasonal day classes offer a wonderful taste of French cuisine and culture in just one day. These include:
-
A Taste of Vienne – Summer Lunch Class: A celebration of regional, seasonal French cooking featuring local ingredients and a delicious four-course lunch with drinks and cheese tasting.
-
From My French Kitchen: Noël Edition: A festive day of holiday favourites including foie gras, pain d’épices, Christmas chutney, and a show-stopping dessert—perfect for bringing a little French flair to your own Christmas, wherever you’re celebrating.
Each class runs from 9:30am to 4:30pm and includes morning tea, hands-on cooking, and a long, relaxed lunch shared together.
Montmorillon is easy to reach, with a train station just five minutes from the centre of town. The TGV from Paris, Charles de Gaulle, Bordeaux or even Brussels connects through Poitiers, with Montmorillon just a short regional train ride away. Flights are also available into Limoges and Poitiers airports.
Many of you have joined my tours in Melbourne, Paris, Lyon, Dijon and the Côte d’Azur. Now, you can experience my life here in Montmorillon—whether it’s for a full residency or a delicious day of French cooking.
