Cooking in France!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 27 Oct 2019via mobile
The cooking class was titled “Gourmet Explorer” and it certainly lived up to its name! Located in the country side near Carcassonne we experienced - along with cooking classes - several highly rated restaurants, visited a winery; checked out the market in Carcassonne, and made the most amaaazing chocolates.

The cooking we did was fabulous - pastries; vegetables; duck; fish; scallops; lobster - so many ideas to take home and impress our friends!

Altogether a delightful 6 days at The French House Party!

    Oh my word! If you enjoy food and like to cook this experience is fantastic! I have just returned having did the explorer food class with my adult daughter who also loves to cook as well and my wife who actually hung out and worked but enjoyed the evenings and the food! Wow is all I can say, our gracious hostess Moira is amazingly accommodating as well as those who assist her, Isabel,Neal, Vicki, Corrine. Thanks to each and everyone for making this such a delight and a wonderful memory for my daughter and I! - The Chefs!! A Wahla! Lauren, Remi, and Jean Marc! Tres Bonn!! Thank you so much! The instruction, the camaraderie, the food! all so incredible! If you have any doubts, caste them aside and do this!! you will not regret! Cool moment as well when Macron's personal chef called Jean Marc and asked if he could come and cook for Macron while we were standing there! Pretty cool!! The chef's were excellent, inviting, fun, instructional, engaged - Thank you once again!!!

    Room tip: Choose a room with a terrace! lovely!

    Thanks for this lovely review, Ron! I'd forgotten about the Macron dinner and Jean-Marc Boyer - I think that happened this summer sometime. I guess it was more exciting for us than for him, because he must have done a lot of that sort of thing when he trained and worked in Paris. I'm pleased you all enjoyed the course as much as we enjoyed having you there. Best wishes to everyone. Moira

    What can I say apart from what a host. Moira and her team looked after us from the second we arrived to the second we had to leave. The food was fab, and endless! The facilities are second to none and the scenery breathtaking (If the weather plays its part!) Travelled as a group for 3 days and would love to return.

    We stayed with Myra for two nights and she was an amazing host. The house is really spacious and very comfortable with a large lounge, games room with a pool table. Outside has a great pool and plenty of sun loungers.

    A group of us stayed with Moria and her friends across 2 houses and everything was taken care of. Nothing was missed. It's Moria and her friends which make this ultra special and throw in a Michelin star chef cooking for you, lunch within Carcassonne castle and then another 5 course dinner in a luxury French chateau plus a private tour of a winery. Oh did I mention private travel to each and every place including airport pick up and drop offs? Each house is delightful and has swimming pools, table tennis, tennis and a pool table and this is a fantastic way to spend time in France with friends. Don't look anywhere else just book and you'll have a lifelong memory of a great time.

    Hello, Wob64 (?),

    I'm so pleased you and your fellow corporate stars enjoyed all that we had arranged for you. I must mention that my friends with the nearby luxury gite complex called Domain Saladry where half of your group had overnight accommodation are Neil and Vickie Malyon. They worked very hard along with all the French House Party staff and it's so nice to know that it was appreciated. Thank you so much for all your positive comments about us all.
