French cooking class in Lyon - A wonderful experience. Excellent food. The recipes were easy to follow and can easily be made again at home. The visit to the market and shops was great fun even on a hot day. Our host Joelle was easy to talk to and knowledgeable. The view from Joelle’s terrace was, as they say in French, magnifique!

Excellent day of market and cooking - Excellent all around! From picking our food at the local market to preparing it - to eating it on a beautiful rooftop - delightfully watching school children on the playground, and of course, our wonderful, personable chef prepare and serve the meal with us made a perfect afternoon! Highly recommended!

A “Must Do” Experience!! - This cooking class experience was the absolute highlight of our trip to Lyon. Joelle and her husband (who speak English quite well) were so lovely, kind, and patient with our group (myself, my best friend, and our daughters). We started off with our recipes and once we had our main dishes in the oven to cook, we walked to a nearby outdoor market to buy more fresh ingredients (which was an awesome trip with Joelle as she pointed out local delicacies and places worth visiting). Upon our return we finished making our meal and enjoyed it with some delicious red wine on their balcony. The view was amazing from the rooftop - you can see almost all of Lyon from there!! And - Joelle emailed us the recipes so we could return home and make the yummy dishes for our own families! I can not recommend this experience enough :) it was so fun!
