As foodies we have always been enamored of French cuisine and of course, its high priestess Julia Child. Could we be more pleased and excited with the advent of the fun new movie Julie & Julia? Non! With all the buzz, Tour de Forks decided to create their own tribute to Julia, by way of a truly special epicurean adventure channeling the beloved cook's early days in "her" Paris and Provence.
The adventure begins in Paris and includes three nights at the Left Bank's legendary Hotel Pont Royal where Julia and her husband Paul first stayed. Stroll through her arrondissement; visit museums and explore the colorful markets where she loved to shop. Dine in the very same bistros and brasseries whose food contributed to her love affair with la belle France. The pièce de résistance? A lesson at Julia's alma mater, the illustrious Le Cordon Bleu.
Then, off by rail - via the high-speed TGV to Provence. Spend one night in Les Baux at Oustau de Baumaniere and three nights at Chateau de la Begude. You'll explore Julia's past haunts including a visit to her former home, the charming farmhouse La Pitchoune. Add your own ingredients to make this adventure one you will always remember.
