Excursion S.a.l.t. michelin-star chef at château du prince noir tour at Bordeaux

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Experience a 360° culinary experience in Bordeaux: a place deeply rooted in local history (Château du Prince Noir), a Chef deeply in love with its region and its products (Michelin-starred Chef Vivien Durand) and the opportunity to learn by doing (a 2-hour cooking class run by the chef himself) before enjoying a gourmet French lunch.

Le Prince Noir

Leave the pier by minicoach and head towards the right bank of the river Garonne.

After a quick 20-minute drive along the river, reach the wonderful Le Prince Noir restaurant, where you are welcomed by the Michelin-starred owner of the place, Chef Vivien Durand himself.

Michelin Star Chef Vivien Durand

At the spectacular site “Le Prince Noir”, located uphill, in the premises of a historical castle and nearby the suspended Aquitaine bridge, enjoy the unique opportunity of putting yourself in the place of a Michelin-starred brigade member.  

Chef Vivien Durand will show you step by step the setting-up of a high-end restaurant service. By doing so, you will obviously learn a few tricks and know more about local products, but you will also discover what it is to be a professional cook.

Cooking Class and Lunch

After an approximately 2-hour long cooking class, enjoy a seated 3-course lunch in the restaurant, especially privatized for you. Take the time to enjoy the fruit of your work, paired with local wines.
