“I recently celebrated my 50th birthday week with my daughter at Le Foodiste, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. We joined a small group for a three-course cooking class, and the entire experience from the food to the instruction to the facility was exceptional. The chef’s guidance was clear, patient, and inspiring. I learned so many new techniques and even conquered something I had been hesitant to try before: using a mandoline. The joy of mastering that, alongside my daughter, made the evening unforgettable. The facility itself was welcoming and well-equipped, creating the perfect environment for learning and celebrating. The intimate group size allowed us to connect with the…”

Cross from Nice into Italy for market shopping, coastal views, and Dolceacqua on an eight-hour small-group tour.
“The towns are fantastic! Especially San Remo! I loved the town and the market. Menton was also lovely and worth visiting. I really thought there was very little in Dolceacqua. We saw the old town, but very little was open. The restaurant in the square had delicious local wine, pasta and pizza. Very reasonably priced. We also had a very nice cappuccino. We spent the majority of our time there. Others in our group went to the Italian restaurant on the side of the road as you come into town not on the square, they said it was the worst meal (no pizza and overcooked cold pasta) and they tried…”

Navigating the busy Christmas market traffic, he got us to the ‘front door’ each time and was ready to take us to the next destination every time.
