Cooking Classes in Provence at La Belugue

About this tour

Spend four hours in an 18th-century farmhouse kitchen in a working Provençal village, learning to cook regional dishes from scratch. You'll prepare lunch using local techniques and ingredients, then sit down to eat what you've made. It's a chance to understand how Provence actually tastes rather than how it's marketed.

Highlights

• Cook in a restored 18th-century farmhouse kitchen
• Learn hands-on Provençal cooking techniques
• Source and prep seasonal, local ingredients
• Eat the lunch you've prepared together
• Spend time in an authentic village setting
• Small group format with practical instruction

What to expect

You'll arrive at the farmhouse and move straight into the kitchen. Expect to be shown how to handle ingredients properly, construct dishes methodically, and understand the 'why' behind Provençal cooking rather than just following steps. There's chopping, sautéing, tasting, and adjusting as you go. Once everything's ready, you'll sit at a table with your fellow cooks and eat together. It's unhurried and practical—less demonstration theatre, more collaborative cooking.
