Travel Itinerary

Aurore will warmly welcome you into her beautiful, sun-filled home and garden in Fontainebleau, just a short walk from the heart of town. Begin your French cooking class with a welcome drink as she shares stories from her Parisian upbringing and rich multicultural heritage. Step into her inviting kitchen for a hands-on, seasonal French cooking experience, where you’ll prepare 2–3 authentic dishes from scratch over ~1.5 hours. Aurore delights in sharing her favorite tips, techniques, and family traditions, adding unique twists to beloved French classics.
As you put the finishing touches on your meal, enjoy a tasting of cheeses from a local fromagerie, paired with freshly baked bread. Then, gather around Aurore’s dining table—or outdoors in the garden, weather permitting—to savor the authentic dishes you’ve created. Your meal is paired with regional French wine and ends on a sweet note with a traditional dessert such as molten chocolate fondant or delicate apple rose tarts, offering a truly authentic taste of France.
This experience is perfect for couples, families, and children. After your meal, be sure to visit the nearby Château de Fontainebleau, an unmissable historic landmark.View Location
