Assoc. Cuisine Et Tradition:
Provence is a land of warm-hearted people, delicious cuisine, and spectacular structures built over its 2500 year history as one of the major centers of trade on the Mediterranean. It is our home, and we love to share it.

Every year we begin anew with fresh ideas and deepening relationships with the local artisans to share with you, our guests. In sync with our allegiance to the SlowFood movement, we are working almost exclusively with organic produce, organic vineyards and organic suppliers of all sorts. Food is our life, and the best quality we are able to obtain means -- for us -- organic and locally cultivated.

Intensive French & Cooking Courses:

Photo of French Language & Cooking Courses in FranceIn our culinary tours, we begin each week with a visit to the outdoor market of Arles, the largest in France with over 1300 merchants. There we choose our fresh ingredients for our first cooking classes. As the week progresses we visit local artisans such as the chocolate maker, or the potter and go wine-tasting at local wineries. We will pass through orchards of olive trees and fruit, vine-covered hill sides and plateaus, rows of vegetables that will show up at the market stalls in Arles every Wednesday and Saturday. Through stories, history and daily cooking classes we will share the traditional foods of Provence, the warmth of sharing time over Mediterranean food and Rhone wines, the pleasures of the table.

We offer a special 2 week course combining intensive French instruction (30 hours), cooking classes, wine tasting, excursions, and many a lively evening with friends around the dinner table.
