March 2003 saw the opening of our new Provençal cookery school, l’École de Cuisine du Château de Berne. The school is set in a little converted country house next to L'auberge, in an idyllic spot with wild thyme, rosemary and olive trees at its doorstep. Outside there is a shady terrace where you can enjoy the fruits of your labour, accompanied by a glass of wine from the estate.
The classes, which are designed to be for small groups (2 to 10 people), are for people at all skill levels and available either over a long weekend or for a week. In addition, monthly Saturday cookery mornings run throughout the year for those staying at L’auberge who want to dabble in a spot of cooking. The courses capture the essence of Provençal cookery.

A typical course includes a visit to the bustling marketing at the nearby village of Lorgues, an olive oil mill, a traditional local restaurant for lunch, as well as a tour of the Château de Berne’s cellar and a tutored wine-tasting.
 

At L’auberge, Philippe Migot brings the true flavours of Provence to the table with menus featuring a mix of cuisine du terroir and cuisine grand mere, using organic vegetables, wild herbs and olive oil from the Château’s gardens and olive groves.
