Built in 1963, Julia Child's former home in Provence is now being turned into a cooking school and yoga studio. This is a natural progression from the French Chef ideal, as nothing channels your inner calming chakra like thoughts of a 6'2" chef wielding a meat mallet and cast iron frying pan.
For $2,650 per person, six guests will spend five days cooking and practicing yoga at La Pitchoune, the summer home of the famed chef. Child, author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, personally designed the kitchen which remains relatively untouched over fifty years after its creation. Peg board walls well-adorned with pots and pans of every style still remain properly placed for use.
The yoga angle is the confusing part though, but I assume all celebrity chefs have some sort of gimmick. Like Jacques Pépin doing a spin class or Anthony Bourdain operating krav maga courses. No one understood the brutality of krav maga until they saw Julia bludgeon a Cornish game hen on a cutting board though.
