In addition to learning from Cathy, joining this gathering of like-minded crafters allows you to form lifelong friendships and exchange techniques with fellow enthusiasts.
Mark, our culinary expert with two decades of experience in top-notch restaurants, will cater to each class, considering any dietary requests. Using local, seasonal ingredients whenever possible, Mark will craft a menu that tantalizes your taste buds while remaining approachable.
Throughout the booking process and your stay, Nadine & Mark will be there to provide any assistance you may need. From helping with airport transfers and offering packing advice before your trip, to accommodating dietary requirements or addressing lost luggage upon your arrival, they've got you covered.
During the week, one day is dedicated to an excursion to Annecy. You'll enjoy a leisurely cruise on the lake in the morning, followed by a delightful lunch at a charming French bistro and an afternoon of exploring the local haberdashery shops.
