Cooking Classes in Provence, a renowned provider of authentic culinary experiences in southern France, is delighted to announce the launch of its new hands-on cooking classes in the historic city of Avignon. Known for its rich culture, medieval architecture, and vibrant food scene, Avignon provides the perfect setting for visitors eager to dive deeper into Provençal cuisine.

The newly introduced classes offer travellers the opportunity to experience Avignon not just as tourists, but as welcomed guests around the kitchen table. With its open-air markets, locally grown produce, and time-honoured culinary traditions, Avignon is a natural fit for immersive cooking experiences that celebrate the region’s flavours and heritage.

Founded with the goal of connecting people through food, Cooking Classes in Provence has built a strong reputation for creating meaningful, hands-on workshops in beautiful locations. Each class focuses on traditional recipes, fresh seasonal ingredients, and the simple joy of preparing and sharing a home-cooked meal.
In Avignon, participants will begin their culinary journey with a visit to one of the city’s bustling markets. Led by an experienced local instructor, they’ll shop for the day’s ingredients, meeting regional producers and learning how to choose the freshest vegetables, herbs, cheeses, and more. This initial market visit sets the tone for the rest of the day—personal, interactive, and deeply rooted in Provençal life.

Back in the kitchen, guests will roll up their sleeves and help prepare a multi-course meal that might include dishes such as pissaladière, ratatouille, lamb with herbes de Provence, or a seasonal fruit tart. The menu changes regularly, inspired by what’s in season and the chef’s personal touch.
A spokesperson from Cooking Classes in Provence shared: “Avignon has long been a cultural and culinary gem of the region. We’re thrilled to now offer our guests the chance to cook in this remarkable city. Our aim is always to create warm, memorable experiences that connect people to the heart of Provence through food, and Avignon brings a beautiful new flavour to that journey.”

The classes are small and friendly, designed for all experience levels. Whether someone is a confident cook or a complete beginner, they’ll be guided step by step through each recipe in a relaxed and supportive environment. More than just a lesson, it’s a chance to slow down, savour the moment, and learn by doing.

One of the highlights of the experience is the shared meal at the end of the class. Guests sit together to enjoy the dishes they’ve prepared, often paired with local wines and plenty of lively conversation. It’s a moment that captures the spirit of Provençal hospitality and leaves a lasting impression on everyone involved.

Avignon’s unique setting, with its mix of history, art, and gastronomy, adds a special charm to each class. Cooking in view of the Palais des Papes or strolling through the medieval streets on the way to the market adds an unforgettable dimension to the day’s experience.

The expansion into Avignon is part of Cooking Classes in Provence’s ongoing commitment to making traditional Provençal cooking accessible, engaging, and rooted in local culture. By opening up new locations, the company is helping more travellers discover the warmth, flavours, and traditions of southern France.

In addition to group classes, private sessions are available for couples, families, and small groups looking for a more personal touch. These bespoke experiences can be tailored to specific tastes, dietary needs, or special occasions.

The new classes in Avignon are now available to book online and are offered throughout the year, with menus that reflect the best of each season. From spring asparagus and early strawberries to autumn mushrooms and figs, every session offers something unique.

Cooking Classes in Provence invites food lovers from around the world to discover the joy of cooking in Avignon, where tradition, taste, and togetherness come together in the heart of Provence.
