The address comes with the voucher, dietary needs must be flagged in advance, and pets are not welcome. 4.53 from 247 reviews for 3h. In our comparison: #6 of 6 in Family Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Join your hosts for a unique culinary experience in their charming home nestled amongst olive trees, offering stunning views of the sea. As home chefs and foodies, they'll guide you through preparing a French starter and main course, giving you a glimpse into their daily life and local cuisine. After cooking up a storm, sit down to enjoy your homemade meal with a glass of wine. You'll be able to pick herbs, lemons and other seasonal produce grown in Marie and Laurent's garden too.
