La Vie De Chateau

DAY ONE -- Sunday
After your arrival at either the train station or the airport, you will be picked up and taken to Château de Kerivon, which will be our home for the week. After time to relax and unpack, we will meet in Kerivon's library for refreshments, an overview of the week's activities and a presentation about the Kerivon library, followed by a guided tour of the Château grounds and carriage house. During apéritifs in "Le Petit Salon," Chef Guillaume Fornasier will give us an overview of our cooking activities for the week and then we will enjoy a lovely dinner at Kerivon prepared by Chef Guillaume.

DAY TWO -- Monday
Our day will begin with a delicious gourmet breakfast "à la française" at Kerivon followed by a morning excursion to explore the Pink Granite Coast. We'll stop for lunch at an excellent and elegant seaside restaurant. After lunch we will have more time to explore the region before our return to Kerivon and some free time. We will depart later in the afternoon for our first cooking class with Chef Guillaume. The class will be a combination of demonstration and hands-on as we prepare our dinner meal.

DAY THREE -- Tuesday
Breakfast at Kerivon will be followed by an outing to continue exploring the region by taking either a coastal walk or visiting some of the various scenic locations in the region. We will have lunch at La Suite restaurant where we will be treated to a menu for which the region is renowned, the Breton seafood platter ("plateau de fruits de mer") consisting of the best in fresh local shellfish. Following lunch we will return to Kerivon for some free time before heading off for our cooking class and dinner meal with Guillaume.

DAY FOUR -- Wednesday
After breakfast at the Château, we will rendezvous with our chef Guillaume at his teaching kitchen for another cooking class where we will prepare our lunch meal. After lunch, we will make our way back to Kerivon via the nearby town of Treguier as well as seeing some additional sites of interest in the area. We will return to Kerivon for some free time to explore the estate or relax, and then dinner will be a Breton crêpe-making party at Kerivon with a specialty chef who will teach us how to make the famous galettes and crêpes for both main course and dessert.

DAY FIVE -- Thursday
Breakfast at Kerivon will be followed by an early morning trip to the Lannion outdoor market where we will meet Guillaume and accompany him as he selects fresh locally grown ingredients for our final dinner meal. Following our rendezvous with Guillaume, there will be free time to explore the Lannion market (including the non-produce market booths along the river), people-watch from a sidewalk café, or stroll around this charming historic town. We will also pick up local specialties from the outdoor market for our garden lunch at Kerivon. There will be free time for some last minute local shopping or relaxing at the Château in the afternoon. At the end of the day, we will enjoy apéritifs in "Le Petit Salon" followed by a fabulous and unforgettable final dinner prepared for us by Chef Guillaume.

DAY SIX -- Friday
Our tour will conclude after breakfast at Kerivon with time to take one last stroll around the Château grounds before heading off for the airport or train station.
