Experience Details

Walk to Francoise's local covered market in Paris to meet some of her local producers. You might stop at the fishmonger, the fromagerie, and the produce store and pick up ingredients for your cooking class. Walk the short way back to Francoise's apartment, a beautiful apartment that is tastefully filled with finds from her travels. Join her in the kitchen and over cheese nibbles or snacks, learn how to make a classic French main dish. For your main, you might make feuilleté with leeks and shrimp in a ginger sauce, steak with a classic French Béarnaise sauce or poulet à l'estragon (chicken in a tarragon sauce).


After cooking, enjoy your lunch around your host's kitchen dining table featuring the classic French main course that you cooked together. End your meal with a traditional French dessert such as strawberry tartelettes (homemade lemon crust, crème pâtissière au Grand Marnier) or île flottante (a soft meringue served on top of sweet custard) which will be served with Champagne.
