Course


Colours and Flavours of the Riviera
Learn French in the mornings, and in the afternoons, discover the art, perfumes and flavours of Provence! Learn how to capture light and forms like the Impressionists in drawing and painting workshops with a professional artist! In good weather, the workshops take place in the picturesque old town of Antibes. Next, you'll learn how to create a perfume at the famous Gallimard perfumery in Grasse, under the guidance of a professional 'nose'! In a series of botanical workshops, you'll learn about the herbs, plants and essential oils of Provence, and how to apply natural products to your hands and face. After a visit to the market, you'll learn how to create a classic Provençal menu in the Saturday cookery workshop, with our school's friendly cookery teacher Jeannine. Finally, you'll enjoy an evening aperitif and conversation in the home of one of Antibes' oldest families!
