The Alain Ducasse Cooking School benefits from the reputation of this great chef, which tends to explain the undeniable cost of the courses.

The School is composed of 4 kitchen-workshops, a wine cellar, a meeting room, a shop, all centred around a patio that offers unparalleled luminosity. Many lessons are available.

It all began in 1968 in the 17th arrondissement of Paris where a group of friends, surfing on the general atmosphere, decided to adopt the slogan "Under the cobblestones, a rugby pitch" and created the RCP 17. Meanwhile, in the 15th arrondissement, two friends decided to create, in 1971, the rugby section within the Omnisport Paris 15. Soon, in addition to the senior team, the rugby school was created, as well as a junior team. Then came the month of July 1990 when, during long evenings of passionate exchanges, several of them, including Michel Huguet of RCP 17 and Jean-Luc Mauger of OP 15, noticed that the strengths of the two clubs were complementary. Administratively linked to the Omnisport Paris 15, OP15/RCP17 therefore moved to the Suzanne Lenglen stadium in the 15th arrondissement. 1996 was a difficult year for the Omnisport institution. In order not to be affected by these setbacks, the rugby section decided to create an independent club. Master of its destiny, the Rugby Club Paris 15 was born.

Since 1996, RCP 15 has been attracting new athletes, children and adults, men and women, beginners and experienced. Thanks to the efforts of everyone, players, volunteers and friends, this small family club is one of the largest rugby clubs in the Île-de-France region. A club that counts and that is recognised by its sporting results as much as by the number of its members; a training club, with rugby schools, and also one of the French clubs most involved in the promotion of women's rugby. Affiliated to the French Rugby Federation, it is also affiliated to the Aveyronnais Federation.

For nearly three centuries, this family business has been creating pastel shades, a material of choice for painting enthusiasts. The Maison du Pastel, which is the oldest pastel factory in the world, has been awarded the label Entreprise du patrimoine vivant.

History. The history of "La Maison du Pastel" begins with the 18th century, at the time of the great vogue for pastel painting. Founded in 1720, it settled around 1760 in Versailles, then in Paris on rue Saint-Honoré, and settled in 1766 in the Marais, rue Grenier-Saint-Lazare, where it remained until 1912. In the 19th century, this establishment in the name of Macle sold all items for drawing. The manufacture of pastels is part of the house's activity. Around 1865, a pharmacist who loved painting, Henri Roché Sr., took over the establishment and collaborated with an old craftsman in order to make pastel an incomparable painting technique. In 1878, he was at the head of what is now called the Maison du Pastel. Since 1887, he has been offering a collection of around 500 shades. Henri Roché's "à la gerbe" pastels were then sold internationally. In 1906, his son joined him and they moved the Maison du Pastel to the current address, 20 rue Rambuteau. At the death of Henri Roché père, Henri Roché fils relocated the production workshops while keeping a shop in Paris and developed 1,650 pastel shades. He was then in contact with the greatest names in painting (Simon Bussy, Marcel Baschet, Edouard Vuillard...). After ten years of research, he created the "pastelo", a medium that is neither gouache nor oil paint, but that can be spread with a brush. After his death in 1948, his widow, then his daughters, in particular Huberte, took over the House, which found the support of new artists (Serge Poliakoff, Jacques Aubelle, François Barbâtre...). It is a little cousin who takes over in 2000 and relaunches 300 nuances in two years. In 2012, it launched the "Petits Roché", a new range of half-sticks.

The products. A collection of 1,201 pastels available in nine gradient ranges. Each range is composed of pure colours that are graded to white, black, or crossed with another colour.

The establishment offers an impressive variety of courses, which will necessarily suit your desires and level! For beginners, intermediate or confirmed, the workshops invite you to make gardens suspended in macramé or rattlesnake, make knives, start with silkscreen, compose a bouquet, or work zinc! Authentic craft courses with ecological sensitivity (we like to get it back here), we love the warm atmosphere and the authentic transmission of knowledge that operates there.

CEROC, you've never heard of this dance? It's a dance for two! It's easy to learn and can be danced to any kind of music!
