Provençale Cuisine cooking classes and Foodlovers’ Getaways in Arles

In our culinary tours, we begin each week with a visit to the outdoor market of Arles, the largest in France with over 1300 merchants. There we choose our fresh ingredients for our first cooking classes. As the week progresses we visit local artisans such as the chocolate maker, or the potter, go wine-tasting at local wineries and learn from the men and women who have wine in their veins.
