Raymond Blanc's 'Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons', Oxfordshire
​
Wednesday 20th November 2024
​
BALANCES ARE NOW DUE FOR THIS TRIP - PLEASE CALL US OR CALL IN TO PAY IN PERSON
FULLY BOOKED - ask to go on our standby list!
​
Following the success of our June trip to 'Le Manoir', we are visiting again in late autumn 2024. This time, the focus is on food and flower arranging. On arrival, the group will split, with half going to the Cookery School and watching a demonstration from one of 'Le Manoir's' Chefs, and the other half of the group will see a seasonal flower arranging demonstration, with florists who work with 'Le Manoir'. The groups will then swap over so everyone will see both activities.
​
Once this is complete, we head for Champagne & Canapes in the Conservatory, before we are called into 'La Belle Epoque' dining room for
a superb seasonal 4 course lunch with all wine & soft drinks included.
Previous groups have met Monsieur Blanc himself (but it's not guaranteed!). A great gift - perhaps for a birthday, anniversary celebration, or simply a treat to yourself!
