Property in France could be the best place for little chefs to spend some time this spring.
That is thanks to the cookery classes which have just started for youngsters at Le Chabichou.
Run by Michel Rochedy, the Courchevel eatery holds two Michelin stars and tourism development agency Atout France asks "what could be more French" than its cooking classes.
The lessons begin with young chefs given guidance on how to prepare restaurant-quality food.
In typical French gastronomic style, the sessions then move on to eating the meals that have just been prepared.
The opportunity to get involved in some world-class cooking could be more than enough reason for many families to head to property in France.
Visitors to Courchevel arriving by public transport now need not worry about having to hike the 400 m from the train station to the village itself.
Taxis can now be booked in advance, ensuring transport is there on arrival to ferry passengers and luggage alike to their door.
