Quietly Exceptional French Culinary Retreat
Immerse yourself in classical French cooking at
our 200-year-old farmhouse in the heart of France.
Intimate. Hands-on. Soulfully French.
Learn to Cook the French Way.
Simply, Properly, and Beautifully
At The Walnut Grove, we welcome no more than six guests at a time for deeply personal instruction in classical French cuisine. Taught entirely in English by Chef Eric — a professional French chef with over 40 years of experience — you'll gain the confidence, techniques, and understanding to cook from intuition, not just recipes.
Whether you're sautéing with copper pans, gathering herbs from the garden, or plating with finesse, every moment is grounded in tradition and elevated for today.
























More than a holiday. A true immersion.
Refine culinary skills, explore the seasonal flavors of Brittany and Normandy, and enjoy elegant accommodations in a peaceful countryside setting. With daily hands-on instruction, market visits, wine pairings, and slow, meaningful meals,
this is a culinary retreat created for passionate home cooks seeking depth, refinement, and lasting confidence.
Spaces limited to 6 guests per week — early booking recommended.
