Imagine a relaxing day in Provence among platan alleys, lavender fields, and endless vineyards. Start your day as all French do with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and chocolate croissant in a small local café. Than stroll through the farmer’s market and fill your straw basket with local specialities: cheeses, meats, just picked fruits and veggies and, of course, flowers. Cook exquisite meals and enjoy slow lunch and a glass of wine from Chateauneuf-Du-Pape with your friends. Finish your day wandering around Cassis, a tiny old town and port with cobbled streets, pretty cottages and turquoise waters.

You can have 9 days of this paradise, if you join French Lunch cooking classes in Aix-en-Provence (France). French call the town mini-Paris for it's beautiful architecture, excellent shopping and fine cuisine.You’ll have four classes with professional French chefs as well as the opportunity to see the best of Provence.
