Day 1 – Welcome and Cooking Course
Provence Lavender Fields
Welcome to Provence! You will experience the authentic Provence with several days of enjoyment in a beautiful setting!
You will be picked up at the Avignon TGV Station (arrival between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM, please) and be driven to your guest house in Tavel, an authentic provençal mas (a mas is a traditional French farmhouse with amazing charm and character!). The mas is located in a splendid setting surrounded by the rural landscape of colorful Provence and the sounds of the cicadas. The magnificent rooms are exquisitely decorated in a provençal style.
You’ll do a cooking course followed by dinner (drinks included). With this experience, you’ll quickly discover the scents and spirit of the Provençal home kitchen. Your meal will be made with fresh fruits and vegetables that have been grown in the unique beauty and sunlight of Provence.
Overnight in Tavel.
