Gourmet trips #4

We learn from the greatest

Where for example? At La Bouitte, a three-star chalet-hotel in the Trois-Vallées. Chefs René and Maxime Meilleur offer a half-day immersion in their brigade.

Why is it good (and good)? From the preparation of lake fish to the design of foie gras, from working on vegetables to the art of sauces, without forgetting the pastry:we put on the uniforms of the staff and off we go for several hours of learning. A unique opportunity to discover from the inside how a 3 Michelin star brigade works and to learn some little secrets from the chefs.

We reserve! €260 per person, including a meal with the team, la-bouitte.com.

And also:discovery of the Brive-la-Gaillarde market in a small group, followed by cooking lessons with Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch, cook to President Mitterrand, brivetourisme.com. Cooking class with chef Julien Marseault, elected best young chef in Brittany, at the eco-hotel Le Château de Sable in Porspoder (Finistère).
