Gastronomicom:
Gastronomicom French Culinary School is located in a beautiful resort in Cap d’Agde, a famous Mediterranean seaside town in the well-known region of Languedoc-Roussillon, between Montpellier & Perpignan, close to Beziers Airport, about 120 km from the Spanish border. Cap d’Agde is set in a wonderful landscape, with beautiful beaches, palm-trees, excellent Mediterranean food and the most important vineyard in Europe. The climate is extremely pleasant and very sunny throughout the year. Our students in the past have come from the USA, Canada, France, UK, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, Nepal, South Africa, Kenya, Tunisia, Mauritius, Hong Kong, Kyrgyzstan and many other countries.

Culinary Internships: For students holding a student visa (students from Europe do not require a visa), the school provides an internship in a luxury hotel/restaurant or restaurant in France. During the internship, the student will receive an indemnity of approx. 400 Euro per month, plus full board and accommodation. We have relations with leading international hotels, Relais-Châteaux (a collection of the most beautiful restaurants and hotels around the world), and 4-Star establishments with gourmet restaurants.

Diploma Course: French cooking (in English) + intensive French language classes + 4 months training course (internship) in a luxury hotel / restaurant in France. Interns receive a Diploma upon full completion of the study program and a Certificate of Internship indicating the name of the hotel / restaurant and the dates of the training period.

The course takes 12 weeks with 30 hours of lessons per week, including cookery demonstrations and 3 organised professional and touristic excursions (2 in France and 1 in Spain). All the weekends are free for sightseeing and you have one week of holidays to travel.

We also run similar length internship programs for French pastry and sugar decoration + intensive French classes + Internship, French and European wines + intensive French + Internship, and Fine dining food and beverage + intensive French + Internship.
