The School of gastronomy: pedagogical workshop

As a last step of the training for our students, the Hautes Etudes du Goût organize different pedagogical meals and workshops (about medieval gastronomy, wine and champagne food pairings, etc.), as well as a visit to the biggest wholesale market in the world for fresh products (with Guy Chemla, Professor at the University of La Sorbonne-IV).
