Getting There
Only 30 minutes by bus from Invalides to the lovely Parc St. Cloud and 50 meters from Marguerites home. On the way home stop in at the Albert Kahn gardens one of my favorite sanctuaries in Paris.
By metro Reach La Defense by metro line 1
In La Defense, take line T2 towards Issy Les Moulineaux, exit at Belvedere (2nd stop, less than 5 minutes): you're there !
It's a 3 minutes walk from Belvedere to the cooking school (See the map below, but for more details : take the "rue des velettes" exit (you need to cross the tracks), then when you reach rue Gambetta, take a left, then turn right on rue du Ratrait (100 meters from the rue des velettes). The cooking school's street is the first one on your left.
By bus Bus 93 route is Invalides, Champs-Elysees, Place Pereire, Neuilly, Suresnes, and there is a stop (de Pressense) only 150 meters from the cooking school. From the bus stop walk in the direction the bus takes for 50 meters, turn in the first street on you right (rue Michelet), at the end of this small street you are nearly in front of the cooking school (brick house with green shutters on the other side of the street you reach at the end of the rue Michelet).

Private groupes on request
Learn seasonal recipes in an authentic French home. Courses offered every Tuesday to Friday followed by lunch on the terrace.
Because we believe that to master a technique you need to practice it at least once under supervision, Marguerite's Elegant Home Cooking lessons are true hands-on lessons (one fully-equipped workstation for each two students).Have great fun with shared discoveries, and meet new friends.
The lesson may start with an open air market visit to shop for the day's lesson's ingredients, and can be followed, depending on demand, by a gourmet visit (wine or chocolate tastings are some of the possibilities).
