Plan your trip

Top tips for this trip
Mix lesson lengths: Try a short 1.5–3 hr class or immerse in multi-day masterclasses. Explore Gascony: Visit vineyards, medieval towns, and local markets between lessons. Spa and relaxation: Combine classes with thermal spa sessions or wellness treatments. Book early: Courses are intimate and campsites near Eugénie fill up quickly.
Best time of year
Spring (March–May): Ideal for markets filled with fresh produce, mild weather, and blooming countryside. Summer (June–August): Long evenings for dining al fresco, vibrant festivals in the Basque Country, and trips to the Atlantic coast. Autumn (September–October): Peak harvest — grapes, Armagnac, and truffle markets enrich your classes and roadtrip.
Not yet convinced to travel by RV?
We think this trip is best enjoyed by motorhome, combining accommodation and travel while keeping you close to the cooking institute and Gascony countryside. Hotels and guesthouses in the spa town or nearby villages are available, but can be costly during peak seasons. If you prefer this option, look for hotels in Eugénie-les-Bains during your course dates.
