Two top cooking classes stand out in Montpellier for serious food lovers. My favorite is the French Cuisine Cooking Workshop – it’s a practical 4-hour session where you’ll learn from a chef with impressive credentials from Alain Ducasse’s kitchen. I also love the 3-hour Montpellier Fusion Food class, which cleverly combines French cooking with Mediterranean touches.
Both classes are hands-on and include recipe materials to take home. The small groups ensure personal attention, and you’ll actually cook, not just watch. I especially appreciate how they teach real techniques you can use back home.
Let’s look at what makes each class special.
