Learn French cuisine in an Alain Ducasse kitchen

Be seduced by the most romantic city in the world
Sleep in world-class luxury near the Champs d'Elysees

A couple of years ago, Alain Ducasse opened a professional training school in a Parisian suburb, offering on occasion courses for the public. It was so successful that he has opened one in central Paris, with an ideal kitchen and groups limited to 8 people. Courses are half-day or full-day, and optional (at additional cost) are exceptional wine evenings with a sommelier.

Courses are taught in French, though the chef is Canadian and speaks English as well. Basic knowledge of French is sufficient for the cuisine courses, and we can also arrange a translator for you if desired (at an additional EUR 150 per group). For the optional wine evenings, good French skills are necessary.

  Menu Cuisine : 3 days and 2 nights  
  Spend either a half or full day in a professional kitchen, taught by a professional chef  
  Enjoy optional gastronomic meals in Michelin-star restaurants and local brasseries  
  Optional: Wine evenings at Alain Ducasse and tastings with a sommelier  
 
Paris, of course, needs no introduction. Our Alain Ducasse culinary experience all takes place in central Paris, just north of the Seine River and not far from the Champs Elysées.

We offer two accommodation options. Plaza Athénée and Hotel Tremoille are in the same neighbourhood, the crossroads of fashion, entertainment and business. Since its inauguration in 1911, the Plaza Athénée has seduced an elegant Parisian and international clientele its legendary classical French style. Le Tremoille, once a centre of the jazz scene in Paris, has received guests such as Orson Welles, Marlene Dietrich, Louis Armstrong, and Johnny Depp.
