What if you could turn back time... in the kitchen? In the heart of Provins's medieval city center, Les Tabliers Gourmands offers culinary workshops as quirky as they are delicious. These gourmand experiences invite children and adults alike to cook medieval recipes, in a setting steeped in history.

In Provins, gastronomy feels like a true journey through time. In the winding streets of this famous medieval town listed by UNESCO, Les Tabliers Gourmands reinvent cooking classes with workshops that whisk participants right into the heart of the flavors of the Middle Ages.

Here, forget the simple everyday recipes! Under the guidance of Dame Corinne, pâtissière professionnelle passionnée d’histoire culinaire, the apprentice cooks discover surprising spice pairings, dishes inspired by banquets médiévaux and techniques oubliées that wake up the palate as much as the imagination.

Here, everyone rolls up their sleeves in a convivial, welcoming atmosphere that's accessible to all, from children to curious adults. Some classes even extend into a dinner tasting where recipes and historical anecdotes blend to offer an immersive and original experience.

Verjuice chicken, fruit confections, pastries inspired by medieval tables... The Tabliers Gourmands workshops invite you to discover refined cuisine, far from the clichés often associated with that era. An experience that can appeal as much to history enthusiasts as to gastronomy lovers seeking unusual activities near Paris.

Additionally, all equipment and ingredients are provided by Les Tabliers Gourmands, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the moment without worrying about the setup. What could be better than a unique medieval town in Île-de-France to learn to cook like it's the Middle Ages, honestly?
