In our Résidence "Le Magnolia" we do organise culinary holidays by giving cooking classes for 4 till 8 persons. We also provide rooms to stay.

It’s possible too book for a session for one or two days. You’re also very welcome to stay longer, even till 6 days (or more), which means 5 days cooking, visiting markets to buy food or visiting farms and 1 day will be spend for visiting local restaurants.

You don’t have to be a chef to visit us. We think that cooking is not only to learn skills but also a social activity to enjoy.So therefore we like to invite: families, groups or friends who like to have fun and in the meantime to progress their cooking skills. Company groups for teambuilding, which we believe can be reached by being busy preparing the most delicious food. People who have a holiday house or are on holiday in France and want to spent a day to learn something . All the people which we are not thinking about.

In Holland we did have a professional kitchen for 28 years and organised cooking workshops for 17 years. We are specialised in the (local) French, Spanish and Italian cuisine, however we have experts in our team who will show you how to make the best marmalade, comfiture or chutneys.

Of course most things will be made of our own organic fruit from the orchard. We will be pleased to organise special arrangements for example more time for visiting cheese farms, wine houses, bee farms, lavender oil preparing local markets, brocantes or visits at the evening markets to eat with and from the local people.

If you prefer to have a calm quiet holiday – walking in the garden and orchard or reading a book, or you want to be spoiled with home-made meals with the all local specialities then it’s worth to come and stay with us.

For reservations fill in the reservation form.

By the way: it’s not allowed to smoke in the house and we can’t accept animals.
