The ITE Year-2 students did their 2-weeks immersion program at Institut Paul Bocuse
From September 10th to September 25th 2016, the ITE Year-2 students from the Culinary Arts and
Restaurant Management Bachelor Diploma visited Institut Paul Bocuse at Ecully, France. During their twoweeks immersion program, Singaporean students underwent classes such as bakery with Chef Jean-Marc
Berthomier, and participated to a Business Game specially designed for them.
They also discovered and learnt more about famous French products by tasting a variety of cheeses
coming from different regions of France. Mr. Didier Lassagne - MOF, Meilleur Ouvrier de France - went
to Château du Vivier and explained them the cheese-making process and wine paring. A wine tasting also
took place at Institut Paul Bocuse to complete the cheese workshop. The 18 students from the Culinary
Arts and Restaurant Management Bachelor Diploma ended their two-weeks immersion program by
visiting a famous vineyard and a chocolate factory. They also got the opportunity to present their
internship projects to the Institut Paul Bocuse jury, and visited Lyon and its surroundings to better
understand French culture and community during their free time.
