Booking Your Week in Uzès: What You’ll Experience from Day One

Is a stress-free culinary vacation in France in your future? You’ve been eyeing that week in Uzès for weeks, months, maybe even years. Perhaps the idea has lived in your browser tabs or danced across your “someday” list. But what actually happens when you click book?

This post is for anyone wondering what a week on one of our stress-free culinary vacations in France actually looks like—especially in Uzès, where food, culture, and comfort come together effortlessly. The week in Uzès is what started it all back in 2016, and we want to share with you why it remains one of the most special tours we offer.

Here’s what you can expect—from the moment you arrive to the final toast, it’s all part of what makes this one of the most stress-free culinary vacations in France.

Arrival

We’ll meet you at the Avignon train station and bring you to the peaceful Uzège countryside. There, you’ll settle into your room at our charming Mas, breathe in the rosemary-scented air, and ease into the week with a welcome aperitif and friendly faces around the table. Think of the welcome cocktail as the ice-breaker, the moment to answer any final questions, the series of emails we sent your way to prep you for your tour, somehow didn’t answer. It’s also the time to drool over the meal suggestions and influence your chef with your culinary dreams.

The Flow of the Week

No scrambling. No over-scheduling. Just a rhythm that lets you savor. Your days might look something like this:

• Wander through the Wednesday market in Uzès, reusable shopping bags in hand

• Cook under the expert guidance of Chef Eric (expect tips, humor, and a whole lot of huile d’olive)

• Venture out to vineyards or the Roman marvel that is Pont du Gard

• Enjoy long, laughter-filled meals with your small group of fellow food lovers

And in between? Time to relax, explore, nap, journal, or sip wine under the fig trees.

The schedule is packed with goodies, and you are free to take part in every bit of it or just relax and enjoy the spoils. This is your holiday!

How It Feels

The group is intentionally small – easier to get to know each other, be at ease in each other’s company, and get around. The days are gently paced. And everything—meals, lessons, day trips—is taken care of, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy.

This isn’t just a cooking class—it’s the heart of what makes our stress-free culinary vacations in France so meaningful. You’re here not just to learn, but to live the experience fully—that French joie de vivre, without the burden of planning every detail. It’s an experience where connection and curiosity matter just as much as cuisine.
