Immerse yourself in French cuisine – from technique to taste

This French cooking course takes place in authentic surroundings in Brittany, where a Michelin-trained chef guides you through everything from basic techniques to building full menus. You will learn to select ingredients, fillet fish, make sauces, bake fresh bread, make canapés and balance flavors so you can create dishes with classic French finesse.

The instruction is practical, personal and intensive – you stand at the kitchen table yourself, and you receive ongoing feedback and help to improve your techniques. Along the way, you will work with local products such as freshly caught fish, organic vegetables and regional specialties.

A stay that combines cooking, wine and French lifestyle

The course includes accommodation and full meals, so you can focus entirely on learning. Together you will eat the day’s dishes at a long table, often accompanied by carefully selected wines and an introduction to wine pairing.

The menus are varied and may include, for example:

• Scallops in citrus sauce on spinach

• Stuffed leg of lamb with seasonal vegetables

• Chestnut cake with homemade ice cream and Armagnac prune compote

You will not only experience cooking – you will gain insight into the entire French culinary culture, from table setting and presentation to ingredient understanding and flavor composition.

Experiences beyond the kitchen

When you are not at the stove, there is time to explore Brittany. The area is known for its dramatic coastline, medieval towns and historical sights.

The course offers the opportunity to visit iconic places such as:

• Prehistoric Stones in Carnac

• Local markets and coastal villages

• Beautiful natural areas along the Atlantic coast

This balance between instruction and excursions provides a holistic experience, where the region’s culture and landscape become a natural part of your culinary journey.
