Paris Culinary Schools

Cordon Bleu Paris Culinary Arts Institute: There's no more prestigious training academy for the serious aspiring chef than the original Paris branch of the Cordon Bleu. Certificate and degree programs available. More tourist-friendly options include two- to four-hour workshops and short courses that range in length from two days to one week. Price of a one-day taste of Provence workshop? €175. Bragging rights? Priceless. (☎01 53 68 22 50 www.cordonbleu.edu $ €175 for one day cooking class.)
Promenades Gourmandes: If the corporate Cordon Bleu is too impersonal for you, Paule Caillat's cooking classes and market tours are just the opposite. Capped at eight students, classes are scheduled on request and take place in a home kitchen in the Marais in either French or English. Every class includes a three-course lunch that you will have prepared and a cheese tasting. (☎01 48 04 56 84 www.fmeunier.com Half-day cooking classes €270 per person.)
