Day
3
The day starts with a pastry class, from savory
to sweet. After a leisurely lunch our outing will
be a visit to the asylum in Saint Rémy where
Vincent Van Gogh spent a year and painted many of
his best works. We will visit epicurean specialty
stores in Saint Rémy before we returnhome
to cook the evening meal in the outdoor kitchen.
Day 4
Early departure to be on hand for the milking
session at a goat farm. We follow the farmers from
the milking shed to their immaculate fromagerie
where we observe the cheese making process and learn
about affinage. Poolside lunch followed by an afternoon
cooking class. Aperitifs and dinner at Mas de Cornud.
Day 5
We ascend a winding road to the fabled castle
of Les Baux, a "must see" village steeped in the
history of the feudal era of Provence. Wine tasting
and picnic lunch. In the afternoon we will have
a cooking class, followed by aperitifs and dinner.
Day 6
Depart for the delightful weekly market at
Isle-sur-la Sorgue, the "Venice of Provence" because
of its many canals with waterwheels still working
away. Besides the food market, you will have a chance
to visit the many galleries with antiques and bric
a brac as well as the flea market on the street.
After a casual lunch, we return to Mas de Cornud
for leisurely afternoon with time for packing and
a farewell dinner.
Day 7
Breakfast and transfer to the Avignon TGV station
for your departure.
