About this tour

You'll prepare over thirty dishes across multiple stations—sauces, charcuterie, seafood, pastry, bread—whilst staying in local accommodation with six nights' dinners and four lunches included. Between kitchen sessions, venture to Mont-Saint-Michel, Bayeux, and Carnac's ancient stones.

What to expect
Days begin at the cooking school where you'll work alongside the chef through demonstration and hands-on preparation. Expect to build foundational skills—emulsifying sauces, butchering proteins, laminating dough—before progressing to plated dishes. Lunches feature three courses of what you've prepared that morning; dinners are four-course affairs with wine pairings. Mornings are intensive; afternoons lighter, leaving room for exploration. One lunch (market day) isn't included, allowing free time. The pace is genuine—this is professional-level training, not casual dabbling.
