Overview

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.

What to expect

Meet your host in front of Sainte-Marie des Batignolles and stroll to a neighborhood covered market in Paris. Meet local vendors - from the fishmonger to the fromagerie - and learn how Parisians shop as you select fresh ingredients for your Paris cooking class.

After the market visit, walk less than 10 minutes to Françoise’s apartment for your hands-on cooking class. Enjoy light snacks as you learn to prepare a classic French dish, then sit down to share the meal you’ve created together in her home. Finish with a traditional French dessert such as strawberry tartelettes or île flottante. Guests can choose between wine or Champagne, included with the meal.
