This is an intimate French Food Tour that explores the food of the Haute Provence with visits to restaurants, village markets, olive oil factories, goat cheese producers, wineries and more. It also includes hands on cooking demonstrations with top chefs of the area and family style true Provencal instruction in the kitchens of the Chateau where you will be staying. This remarkable Chateau the home of the Marquis de Castellane. Overlooking the lake of Esparron, it is an upscale family B&B in the ancient village of Esparron de Verdon. Both village and chateau date back to the 12th century. The village is on a lake. With a maximum of 16 voyagers in two mini buses the tour will be personal with a lot of one on one attention from the four tour guides. La Von and Robbie (her British husband) Roberts will be leading the tour aided by food and travel photographers and writers Peter and Linda D'Aprix who live part time in the area. The group will land in Nice where they will spend several days sampling Nicoise cooking and visiting the perfume town of Grasse and the gastronomic village of Mougins. Then on to the Haute Provence. This is a region not far from the Luberon made famous by Peter Mayle's book "A Year in Provence". We will be making a foray into his country. The tour is flexible so that members can either participate in the organized activities or not as whim dictates.
