When our award-winning Chefs, Robert Abraham and Jean-Marc Boyer are not leading our hands-on cookery classes, they are running renowned gourmet restaurants in this Languedoc region of France.

Outside France, they may not be household names, but they have a celebrity status with French people - television appearances, countless newspaper articles, Michelin stars and top-class recommendations in the most influential restaurant guides mean that they and their signature dishes are synonymous with cooking innovation and flair.

Seize this unique opportunity to learn from master-chefs who will guide you through practical creativity in the kitchen. Using fresh and seasonal ingredients, they will demonstrate and teach the cookery techniques for mastering classic French cuisine - with an added contemporary twist of adventure.
