French Culinary Schools to Visit on Vacation
"Housed in an 18th-century hilltop farmhouse in historic Vaison-la-Romaine and led by Patricia Wells, this immersive program focuses on Provençal specialties. Signature offerings include a Black Truffle Cooking Extravaganza featuring hands-on truffle classes, a truffle hunt, a visit to a local truffle supplier, wine tastings, and organized communal meals. Classes are small (around eight students), and courses are intensive and pricey, with five-day sessions starting at $6,000 (lodging not included)." - Peggy Knickerbocker, Stephanie Curtis
