School of cooking

Jean-Michel Lorain shares his passion

It was Michel Lorain who, over 30 years ago, decided to organize cooking lessons at the Côte Saint-Jacques during the low season, especially for the wives of his most loyal customers!

In 1996, Jean-Michel Lorain created the School of Cooking and housed it in a small 15-seat amphitheatre organized around a household kitchen.
