Learn French Through the Flavors of French Gastronomy

At ILA, we believe that learning French is not limited to the classroom – it’s also about experiencing the culture with all your senses. That’s why we offer a range of tasting workshops and culinary discovery activities, designed to deepen your understanding of French language and culture through one of its most iconic elements: its cuisine.

These gourmet experiences are much more than moments of indulgence – they’re an ideal opportunity to practice French in authentic, real-life situations. Whether you’re listening to the explanations of passionate artisans, interacting with local producers, or chatting with fellow participants, you’ll expand your vocabulary, improve your listening skills, and gain confidence in speaking.

Savor a refined selection of French cheeses while learning about their history and regional origins in a hands-on tasting class. Dive into the world of wine during our French wine tasting and discovery workshop, where you’ll learn to describe aromas, grape varieties, and food pairings – all in French, of course! Explore the sweet richness of the South in our Muscat wine workshop, where you’ll taste this unique wine alongside delicious regional products.

For those with a sweet tooth, our French pastry class and macaron workshop visit with tasting are a must. Discover the secrets behind these iconic desserts while reinforcing vocabulary related to baking, ingredients, and culinary techniques – in an enjoyable and practical learning environment.

You’ll also have the chance to taste and talk about the regional specialties of Southern France, in a relaxed, friendly setting where French is the common language shared by all.

These delicious moments become memorable language-learning experiences, making your stay in France both richer and more flavorful.
