Hi, been looking all over net to find cooking classes in Paris. Just one class will do. Don't want to gain too much weight.

HAH I have done zee work for you, cherie! I did a month of searches for my stay in Paris and found: <BR> <BR>www.theinternationalkitchen.com Paule Caillot hosts half-day and full-day classes <BR> <BR>www.intiweb.com/fmeunier Francoise Meunier hosts one day, three day, etc. classes <BR> <BR>http://www.ritz.com/En/R0500.asp I tried to get into a day class, but they were full. I opted for a demonstration. <BR> <BR>All accommodate English speakers. <BR> <BR>Both Paule and Francoise will tailor a class or classes for you; my excitement is over going to the Poilane bakery with Paule (as in, IN the bakery, seeing the bread being made...). <BR> <BR>Hope this helps. <BR>

try eurovacations.com I am sure they can set up something for you

elvira <BR>do you know if it's possible to visit the Poilane bakery without taking the cooking class? Does Poilane normally accept visitors?

elaine, don't know about Poilane allowing visitors outside of a 'formal' group. I'll ask, though, when I take the tour. <BR> <BR>Their website gave the following email address: [email protected] <BR>If you're planning to visit Paris before I get back, you could email them and ask if you could visit.

Nope, my (short)visit isn't until Dec. <BR>I'll wait to hear after you get back, or else email them--thanks for the address. <BR>Have a wonderful trip by the way--can't wait to read about it.

You can also go to the website www.shawguides.com. Click on "Cooking Schools - Recreational" and then search France.
