Académie Cinq Sens Paris

Académie Cinq Sens is an intimate and professionally led cooking school in Paris, founded by Pierre-Dominique Cecillon, a former head chef of the prestigious Prince de Gaulle Hotel in Paris. The school operates from two workshop locations, one in the 11th arrondissement and another in the 3rd arrondissement, and offers a diverse programme of cooking classes for both adults and children. Pierre-Dominique’s approach to culinary instruction is characterised by warmth, accessibility, and a deep respect for the techniques and traditions of French cuisine, which he makes approachable for participants at every level of experience. The school has built a strong reputation for its lunchtime classes, which allow working Parisians and visitors alike to learn practical cooking skills within a manageable session format. Pricing at Académie Cinq Sens is considered reasonable relative to the quality of instruction, making it an excellent choice for those seeking authentic French culinary education without the premium price tag of more commercial schools. Both public group sessions and private bookings for special events, corporate gatherings, and family celebrations are available. The school’s two locations across different arrondissements make it conveniently accessible from a wide range of Paris neighbourhoods.
