Paris Cooking Class and Lunch with Wine plus Market Visit Option

About this tour

Cook a three-course French lunch from scratch in a Paris kitchen, guided by a professional chef. The 6-hour option starts with a foraging trip through the Latin Quarter's food market, where you'll handpick ingredients and taste local cheeses before returning to prepare your meal. Work through each course, absorb proper technique, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside carefully chosen French wines. Groups stay small—maximum 11 people—so you'll get genuine feedback rather than feel like part of a crowd.

• Select fresh ingredients yourself for your menu
• Cook three courses under professional instruction
• Half bottle of French wine included per person

What to expect

You'll meet your instructor and, if you've booked the full 6-hour slot, head to a bustling market in the Latin Quarter. Wander the stalls, chat with vendors, sample artisanal cheeses, and select what speaks to you. Back in the kitchen, you'll plan your three-course progression together, then get hands-on. The instructor demonstrates technique, watches your knife work, corrects your seasoning, and lets you take the lead. It's not a lecture—you're cooking, not observing. Once everything's ready, you sit down, eat your own work, and drink wine chosen to match each course. By the end, you'll have recipes to take home and a solid grasp of how French cooks approach flavour.
