Imagine returning from a day exploring the Luberon to find a beautifully prepared Provençal dinner waiting—rosé chilled, table set, the aromas of the region filling your kitchen. No reservations, no driving, just an evening to savor with your group, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Whether it’s a single celebratory meal, cooking classes for the whole family, or nightly dinners throughout your stay, a private chef allows you to experience Provence’s renowned gastronomy without leaving home.
Once your villa booking is confirmed, our concierge will be happy to arrange activities for you, or share contact details if you prefer to book yourself.
Relaxed doesn’t mean ordinary. Our chefs bring a market-fresh approach to laid-back lunches, terrace dinners, and light spreads after a long day of exploring—unfussy, seasonal, and deeply satisfying.
An elevated multi-course experience built around the finest local ingredients in Provence. Your chef works with you in advance to design a menu that reflects the season and your preferences.
Learn to cook like a Provençal. Our chefs lead hands-on sessions covering local techniques, seasonal ingredients, and the recipes you’ll want to recreate long after you’ve returned home.
Some meals deserve to be remarkable. Our chefs design bespoke menus for birthdays, anniversaries, and milestone moments—with the presentation and attention to detail the evening deserves.
Enjoy a beautifully curated spread of fine cheeses, charcuterie, seasonal accompaniments, and something sweet—ready to enjoy wherever the day takes you in beautiful Provence.
