The Concept

A spirit… Tradition and modernity, technique and pleasure, know-how and good manners. Our classes are consistent with French history and traditions, but very much with our time and driven by new trends. Our approach is rather modern. We are glad to share with you the current evolution of our school subjects. Our teachers are experienced experts who are well-known in their field and who practise their art every day. They were chosen for their ability to pass on their passion and to adapt to the level of each student. In all our classes, they create an atmosphere of learning and pleasure. During each class, you will be initiated to a subject, and to techniques, gestures and behaviours that will help you convey, represent and understand French Art de Vivre.

A practice… Each class relies on very precise techniques and theories, but above all, on practice. From the beginning, you will add your shoulder to the wheel and after a few explanations, you will create your own work of art, cook a menu, realize a bouquet, make a necklace, comment on a wine or a diamond. Your senses and your concentration will be aroused. The classes given at La Belle Ecole are interactive: the teacher guides and lets the participants get involved.

A result… You will come out of the class with a specific new knowledge or with a customized object of which you will be proudly able to say: “I did it by myself!”. If the course doesn’t imply a personal creation, you will leave the session with a gift. After each class, you can reproduce or teach to others what you have learnt, or come back for another class to improve on the subject! You will become an ambassador of French Art de Vivre…
