I could not have enjoyed my time at Gastronomicom more than I did! There wasn’t a morning in which I wasn’t excited to get to school, see what ingredients we were going to work with, and learn new techniques each day. Chef Fabrice was fun, talented, and made me feel like he cared about me as a person and the journey I was on. This was one of the best investments I have ever made and highly recommend Gastronomicom.

I made the 7 months pastry program and it was amazing, everyone is really nice, the school give a lot of support to adjust during the stay, the teachers are great! I've learned so much, met a lot of people, traveled to a lot of places! It was definitely the most amazing experience!!

The teachers and staff are passionate about what they do and it shows in each lesson. I’ve learned more than I ever dreamed possible, not only in Patisserie and French, but also about myself. Another wonderful bonus is meeting lifelong friends from all over the world! I’m so grateful that I took this chance for me and if you’re thinking about studying at Gastronomicom, do it. You’ll have the best time!

In pastry class, Chef Pol has guide us step by step with his well-organization disciplines for all of us. Each week we were given different topics to learn, in general we have 4 totally different categories to learn, first comes to the bread, cakes, plat decorations, and definitely the chocolate.

I have to mention about the French classes that is made fun by Stephan, He is very patient. His elaborate explanation and knowledge help me understand the language well. My French friends think I understand them better than before and I am able to answer them better. They believe that I will be able to speak French fluently soon.

On the first day I stepped in the classes, I knew I have made the right decision and chosen the right place to learn French language and French cuisine with one star Michelin level. Equipped with dynamic, passionate and talented professionals, it is situated in a small but beautiful, picturesque village in the South of France.
