When embarking on an MBA journey, students tend to choose countries that are not only a good choice economically and for the job market, but which also interest them culturally. 

The French culture is certainly known for its culinary delights, and with Lyon being the heart of French gastronomy, loosen your belts and prepare to experience France at its best.

Paul Bocuse, one of the most celebrate chefs in the world who hails from Lyon, is globally recognized for his influential contributions to French gastronomy. By reinventing traditional French cuisine through emphasis on fresh ingredients of the highest quality and the importance of simplicity in cuisine, he has been honored with a number of international awards, notably the “Chef of the Century” award by the Culinary Institute of America in 2011.

In 1990 Paul Bocuse opened the prestigious Institut Paul Bocuse, a world renowned hospitality and restaurant management school in Lyon. The International MBA at emlyon business school is thrilled to announce a partnership with the Institut Paul Bocuse , where students will now have the opportunity to undertake a course to brush up on their knowledge of French culture and cuisine throughout the MBA. Throughout this course, students will:

• Study the history of gastronomy in France and ‘l’art de la table’
• Learn how to craft signature French dishes
• Pastry tasting
• Oenology course (or for those who prefer, coffee and tea tastings)
• Cheese  tasting

Each module will go for 3 hours, providing you with an overview of the richness of French culture and skills that participants can boast not only to family and friends, but also future employers when they ask about their experience studying in Lyon.
