PARIS – SYMPHONY OF FLAVOURS

antiquesOver the centuries, France has built a mosaic of regions, counties and terroirs (areas with specific soil characteristics). These regions spawned a vast array of agricultural riches that formed the basis of a bountiful food and fine wines. That’s why the French cuisine is plural, declined over the regions to offer an incomparable anthology of flavours and aromas. The Paris "Symphony of Flavours" program combines a unique exploration of Paris while providing an interesting approach of the French cuisines through cooking classes dedicated each day to a Region of France with its specialities, its delicacies and its wines. This program is exclusive to Lifestyle Vacations.
