Program Highlights

Cooking and Gastronomy Tour

One of most popular tours at the Ecole des Trois Ponts, the Cooking and Gastronomy Tour may be presented either in English or in French.

Guests arrive on Sunday afternoon, and after settling in, begin their week of culinary delights with the first of several traditional French dinners.

On Monday morning the group travels to the fresh market in the village of Marcigny, where local vendors sell all types of local meats, cheeses, pastries, household items and clothing.

A visit to the world-famous Emile Henry cookware factory and a demonstration at the renowned oil-pressing workshop J. Leblanc Huilerie, rounds out the mornings activities.

After a buffet lunch at the Villa, guests begin the first of 4 half-day cooking classes with our instructional chef as they prepare the evening meal. Typical preparations include a starter course, main dish, and dessert during each class period with lots of hands-on participation.

Excursions during the rest of the week include:

Visit to a Cote Roannaise vineyard, with a tour and tasting provided by the winemaker

Demonstration at Pilati chocolate/pastry shop

Tour of local medieval villages

Instructional class in Wine and Cheese Pairing

A gourmet lunch at Chāteau de Champlong
