HOW LONG ARE THE COURSES?

As long or as short as you like!
In order to help you fit in as much as possible during your time here we organise half-day cookery classes aswell as

However, should you wish to really make the most of Normandy and all it has to offer we suggest you stay a couple of extra nights and spread your cookery course out over 6 - 7 days, thereby giving you time to explore.

COMBINE COOKING WITH HISTORYbiwith history...

Only 44kms from Sainte Mère Eglise, immortalized in the movie 'The Longest Day', 90kms from Omaha Beach and the US Cemetary, and 139kms from Pegasus Bridge, we're perfectly located for exploring Normandy with its World War Two museums, beaches, monuments and much more...

Le Mont Saint Michel, the second most visited tourist spot in France ( the Eiffel Tower is the first) is a mere 146kms from us along the spectacular coastal road, known locally as ' la touristique', while Bayeux, famous for its almost 1000-year old, world-famous tapestry, depicting the defeat of England by William at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, is 99kms away - all potential day-trips.
