Paola welcomed us home, we were with 5 other English speakers and all had a pleasant time in her company. Paola speaks French very well, she saw that English was not a problem for us so she gave the course in English but of course offered to translate everything. She is really passionate about her region and the history of her gastronomy, it was really exciting. We had a lovely time tasting wine, antipasti and of course making our meal. She showed us the book she wrote, no obligation or pressure to buy it, she even offered to take a picture of the pages that interested us. I'll do this again with my eyes closed. Thank you Paola for this lovely time!
