After a three-month annual closure, the Escoffier Museum of Culinary Art reopens its doors to the public on February 1st.
Created 50 years ago, the Escoffier Museum of Culinary Art is none other than the birthplace of Auguste Escoffier, one of the greatest chefs in French gastronomy. Humanist, inventive, and visionary, he is considered a true master for today’s and tomorrow’s chefs. Nestled in the heart of the village of Villeneuve-Loubet (just a few kilometers from Nice) in an 18th-century Provencal house, the museum invites you to explore the rooms he once occupied.
The only museum of culinary art in France, it offers no less than ten exhibition rooms spread over 300m2 to visitors, combining the great chef’s personal memories and belongings, traditional kitchen furniture, magnificent sugar and chocolate sculptures, and an impressive collection of menus!
Due to its exceptional nature, the house has just been awarded the “Maison des Illustres” label by the Ministry of Culture and Communication.
Full price: €6. Reduced price: €3. Free for children under 11. Group rates available on request.
