A TASTE OF PROVENCE CUISINE....
During your French immersion stay, you'll get a true taste of southern France — one that goes beyond language and into the heart of local life.
Guided by the joy of cooking and the pleasure of sharing, I love creating simple, authentic meals that highlight the rich flavors and seasonal products of Provence.
One shared meal, one true experience
Once during your stay, I’ll prepare a generous home-cooked dinner for us to enjoy together — either at your place or mine. This will be a warm and memorable moment to share good food, conversation, and the joy of French culture.
You’re welcome to join me in the kitchen to cook together — it’s a great way to practice French while discovering a few Provençal cooking tips — or you can simply arrive when the meal is ready and enjoy the experience.
If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, I’ll be happy to adapt the menu to suit your needs. Just let me know ahead of time, and I’ll make sure everything is both delicious and suited to you.
A gourmet tour through Avignon
We’ll also take time to explore the city’s incredible food scene together. I’ll take you on a “gourmet tour” of Avignon’s best spots:
-
Les Halles, the covered market where locals shop for the freshest seasonal produce,
-
my favorite boulangerie, where you can choose your own croissant, brioche or fougasse,
-
and a fromagerie, where you’ll practice your French while discovering amazing regional cheeses. Cheese is an essential part of French culture. Throughout your stay, I’ll help you discover and enjoy a variety of regional cheeses, from the well-known to the unexpected.
This tour is a chance to immerse yourself in daily life, speak French in real situations, and treat yourself to the small pleasures that make every day in Provence feel special.
A city full of amazing restaurants
Avignon is a true paradise for food lovers. Whether you're craving traditional Provençal dishes, a creative twist on French classics, or something light and fresh, excellent restaurants are everywhere — many just steps from your apartment.
​
From cozy bistros to refined cuisine in hidden courtyards, the city is filled with places where you can eat well and enjoy the full range of French gastronomy. I’ll be happy to recommend my personal favorites, tailored to your tastes and mood.
And of course, for nights when you feel like staying in, you’re welcome to use your private kitchen at the apartment to prepare something simple with the wonderful ingredients you’ve picked up during the day.
