About Paris to Provence

Paris to Provence Culinary Adventures are designed for curious travelers interested in small-group gourmet food tours in the two most treasured regions of France - Paris and Provence.

Whether you join us in either Paris or Provence, on our week-long tours , you will...

  • Go behind-the-scenes in the culinary world of France. You'll visit places most tourists never see, on a unique and intimate culinary adventure.
  • Have the chance to relax and unwind knowing that all the details have been looked after. You'll benefit from our expertise and passion.

Our tours are called adventures because that's exactly what they are! You'll be actively involved in hands-on cooking classes with Master Chefs; picnic in the vines of the Côtes du Rhône wineries; meet with artisan wine-makers and olive growers; and learn to pair French cheese with regional wines.

Our on Paris tours you'll learn the secrets of traditional French cuisine in a cooking studio overlooking the Seine; participate in truffle, caviar and chocolate workshops; and make traditional baguettes with a Parisian boulanger.

On our Provence tours you'll visit hilltop wine villages, learn to shop the outdoor markets like a local, and enjoy 3 course meals in vine-covered country restaurants.

Our travels in Paris or in Provence will truly be, as Hemingway wrote,
A Moveable Feast.

Food, Wine & Travel: About Diane & Mark

France, Food, Wine and Travel. These words have defined our path for the past twenty years. Since 1998 we have been passionate travellers to France - we just can't seem to get enough of Paris and of Provence. What started out as a summer vacation turned into a love affair with the food, the people, the country. We've travelled to other places but always return to our favourite destination.

For us, there is no greater thrill than to share our discoveries with others. Now we draw on our knowledge of French food and travel to create food tours in Paris and in Provence.
