Mornings in the JuniorAcademy
The whole class cook a full menu on a chosen theme. Discover the world of food in a fun way at the JuniorAcademy, then enjoy your delicious meal together!
Our culinary workshops for classes from 3H to 8H invite you and your pupils to explore the different facets of food through a practical, interactive approach that stimulates curiosity and raises awareness of the essential issues involved in eating well!
In a kitchen specially designed for children, each pupil will prepare a complete, original and balanced meal, step by step, under the guidance of our culinary instructors. The cookery workshop is complemented by more than twenty-five educational games about food, which can be discovered in our JuniorAcademy play area. How is cheese made? Which vegetables only grow in the summer? Which foods should be kept in the fridge? Your pupils will become real experts on the subject and then share the delicious meal they've prepared during the morning!
