Friday: Market tour, cooking class, and lunch with a local chef.
Explore the outdoor market of Carpentras and learn about seasonal produce.

Then enjoy a French cooking demonstration in a private home, preparing and enjoying three seasonal dishes, along with drinks.

(with a second alternative group on Friday if needed, to keep group size small)
Tuesday: Time to explore on your own. (Or possibly the Avignon Tasting Tour, to accommodate a second alternative session to Saturday and keep group size small.)
