FRANCE
A LA CARTE
French cuisine and wine-tasting breaks
There
is no better place to learn about French cooking than in France...
and there's no better place in France than the South-West, home
to a 'traditional' cuisine that not only represents the French
'taste' but knows how to periodically re-invent itself and produce
sub-cuisines such as the cuisine minceur.
Choice of cooking courses in France
FRANCE
A LA CARTE has chosen a range of courses which introduce the
visitor to this
remarkable region of France: not just to the
different culinary styles but also to the culture, history and
people that have forged this cuisine.
These
short culinary courses take the form of hands-on sessions - usually
in the morning - followed by visits to sites of culinary
interest - vineyards, duck breeder, truffle markets etc - in the
afternoon. All are based in the hotels or chateaux where the chefs
work. You will meet the chef and his brigade before getting down
to work with them. These are genuine culinary vacations where you
will get to know the food, the people and a slice of french life.

Wine-tasting and gastronomy breaks
Eating
and drinking have always gone together in France and our short
breaks range from serious tasting of the 'grand
crus' in the Bordeaux region to a more leisurely introduction to
the oldest French spirit - Armagnac - in deepest Gascony. Just
