The cookery school is in a new building which has been built in the traditional Normandy style by local artisans and has accommodation on the first floor. The kitchen is fully equipped and has been designed to maintain the traditional feel of the exterior of the building. It also has toilets and showers on both floors. There is also an 8 x 4 mtr swimming pool to cool down in if it gets a little hot in the kitchen.
