Cookery classes in Provence
Discover the pleasure of Provençal cuisine with a private cooking class designed to immerse you fully in the region’s culinary traditions. This experience offers more than just cooking: it is an opportunity to develop your skills, learn precise techniques, and create lasting memories with friends, family, or as a couple. Every moment is crafted to leave you with an authentic taste of Provençal lifestyle.
Fresh, seasonal ingredients at every step
Our classes focus on the richness of Provence’s seasonal produce. Every ingredient is carefully selected from local markets, ensuring the freshest flavours and a true reflection of the region’s terroir. From ripe vegetables and fragrant herbs to locally sourced cheeses and olive oils, each component brings the essence of Provence directly to your plate.
A personalised and interactive experience
Each workshop is tailored to your group’s preferences and skill level. Whether you are a beginner eager to learn or an experienced cook looking to refine techniques, the chef adapts the session to create a welcoming, hands-on, and interactive atmosphere. Close guidance encourages conversation, making the class as much about sharing and enjoyment as it is about cooking.
Discover Provence beyond the kitchen
Many workshops include a guided market visit, allowing you to choose your ingredients and gain insight into everyday life in Provence. This aspect of the experience offers a deeper connection with the local culture and an understanding of the provenance of the ingredients you use, making the cooking process even more meaningful.
Flexible, thematic workshops
Our classes can be focused on a particular technique, a seasonal ingredient, or adapted to dietary preferences, including vegan or gluten-free options. You can choose to learn in the comfort of your villa, allowing for an intimate and personalised setting, or in the chef’s professional kitchen. Every session concludes with the pleasure of enjoying the meal you have prepared together.
Seasonal inspiration
Provence offers fresh, local products throughout the year. Our chefs adjust the recipes and menus according to the season, ensuring each class reflects the best ingredients available and provides a genuine, authentic culinary experience.
Our chefs are in high demand during the summer months. To guarantee availability of the chef and secure the date that suits you best, we recommend booking well in advance. Planning early ensures that your culinary experience in Provence is truly unforgettable.
Tailored pricing for your group
Each cooking class is unique. Pricing is determined by the number of participants and whether a preceding market visit is included, allowing you to create an experience perfectly suited to your group.
How it works
The cookery class forms part of our Experience package and becomes available after having adhered to the Experiences package. Designed to enhance your stay in Provence with carefully curated services, this offering allows you to enjoy a tailored culinary moment within your Villa.
To begin, our experience team will ask a series of detailed questions to understand your expectations, the composition of your group, any specific dietary requirements, and the atmosphere you wish to create, whether for a relaxed family dinner or a more refined evening during your vacation.
Based on this information, we carefully select a chef whose expertise and culinary style align with your wishes. Once introduced, you will be put in direct contact with the chef to discuss menu proposals, refine details, and receive a personalised quotation.
Payment arrangements are made directly with the chef in accordance with their individual terms and conditions.
Throughout the entire process, our team remains at your disposal to provide guidance and ensure everything runs smoothly. Should the proposed chef not fully correspond to your expectations prior to final confirmation, we will be pleased to recommend an alternative professional, ensuring your experience in your villa in the south of France meets the highest standards.

“The cookery class was relaxed, well paced, and genuinely informative. We learned practical techniques we could actually use at home, while working with seasonal ingredients that reflected the region. Cooking alongside a local chef added context to each dish , and the atmosphere felt informal without losing structure. It was a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon and one we would happily recommend.”
