About this tour
Cook a three-course Southern French meal in Noël's home kitchen in Vence, near Nice, during a hands-on 3.5-hour session. You'll spend roughly 90 minutes prepping and cooking alongside your host, a passionate local chef, then sit down to eat what you've made together with Noël and his wife Amandine. The mountain views from the kitchen sweeten the deal. Vegetarian adaptations welcome—flag dietary needs when booking.

What to expect
Expect a genuinely informal afternoon in Noël's working kitchen—this isn't a formal culinary school. You'll arrive, tie an apron on, and start prepping ingredients for a three-course meal that changes with the season. Noël will walk you through each dish, showing you his methods and the why behind them. About an hour and a half of actual cooking, with him guiding your hands and answering questions. Once everything's plated, you'll move to the table with Noël, his wife (when she's there), and eat together. There's wine, conversation, and the satisfaction of having made it yourself.
Good to know
Notify the host of dietary restrictions, allergies, or vegetarian needs when you book. Public transport reaches the area. Seasonal menus mean dishes vary throughout the year. Strollers are fine if you're bringing small kids. This is a private home visit, not a commercial classroom.
