This sounds like an excellent place to get a bargain gourmet meal. There’s a chef school in Nice which I must check out, I think they also do this. Let us know how the other evenings/options go. Thanks for linking up to #AllAboutFrance Rosemary! (oh and by the way, the cork breaking would also happen to me!!)

Our usual gourmet partners have not been available recently. We’ll have to organise something soon!
What a great idea! Gives the students experience and immediate feedback that they may not get from friends or family. Will keep it in mind if we ever make it back to Blois 🙂

You may find you have the same thing in one of the larger towns in Finistère! Not that I want to discourage you from coming to Blois :).
What a fun idea and experience! The next generation of French cuisine artists are training right under your nose, and you get to taste it for yourself. If I’m ever back in the Loire, I’ll be sure to check this place out!

I’m sure there are lots of other places in France with the same possibilities!
[…] This time we had a whole gamut of subjects from foodie posts to cultural advice and cultural differences via visits to châteaux, quaint villages and unusual Paris locations. I was delighted to welcome the first blog in French, from Australia, no less, and a new blogger to France with her second ever post (another Aussie!) Once again I won’t say I’m picking favourites but a few stood out for me. I loved Christy’s petit weekend in Deauville, The Travelling Blackberry’s No Art at the Louvre, Rosie’s excellent advice about supermarkets in France and Rosemary’s lunch with learners. […]
The cork thing would happen to me too.
Ha ha!
Hello Rosemary, the choux cake is a Saint-Honoré, a French traditional cake.
The cream is usually lighter (close to crème Chantilly).
Thank you Françoise! I hoped you’d supply the name.

Hmmmm. I’d better look out for a gourmet school in St Etienne as well. What could possibly go wrong ;). Great read, thanks.
Particularly Saint Etienne ! It’s reputed for having good food.
