The heart of Melbourne will once again showcase the crème de la crème of France over three huge days as the Président Cheese Paris to Provence Festival returns to the beautiful grounds of Como House and Garden.
In its fifth year, Paris to Provence will take guests on a journey to the European countryside, showering them with the beauty and elegance of the French. The celebration of food, language, romance, culture and a truly decadent sense of joie de vivre (joy of life) is unlike any other on the Australian calendar.
Reminiscent of a French market village, the gardens of Como House will be transformed into an enchanting display of French retailers and producers, all bursting with Melbourne’s finest mouth-watering regional French food, wine, fashion, books, music, children’s clothing and toys, classes, home décor and 300 year old French traditions.
With cooking classes, indulgent food tastings, vibrant wines, roaming performers, 3D Notre Dame puzzle reconstructions, and other French activities and traditions dotting the gardens, the event will entice both young and the young at heart. The festival prides itself on being an interactive, visual and sensory experience that will bring a feeling of nostalgia to those who have visited the French countryside, and inspire those who haven’t.
Held from the 21st to the 23rd of November at the Cosmo House and Gardens, more information can be found on their website.
