More information

France à la carte operate throughout France, but we are based in Toulouse and most of our holidays are in the Pyrenees, the Aquitaine, Midi and Languedoc regions as well as the Alps, the Riviera and, of course, Paris.

Cooking courses in South-West France

Our courses are short (from 3 to 8 days) residential cooking courses in chateaux and hotels of the greater south-west France.

The usual programme is a hands-on culinary session in the morning followed by food-related visits in the afternoon. Evenings are usually spent, well, eating.

All our cooking courses come with a rental car waiting at a local airport or railway station.
