The new École Ducasse flagship campus occupies a purpose-built 5,000 sq. m space in Meudon – an affluent Parisian suburb just 10km from the heart of France’s capital. As a state-of-the-art center for culinary education, the Paris Campus incorporates four technical areas for introductory culinary training, plus two for professional culinary training. The campus also features technical areas for pastry and bakery training, a sensory analysis room, and two restaurants that will be open to the public.
The École Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie is located in Yssingeaux, in France’s Haute-Loire region. Founded in 1984, it is the school of reference in France – and globally – for professionals in pastry, bakery, chocolate, confectionary and ice cream arts. Housed within the imposing Château de Montbarnier, the school successfully combines heritage and modernity, offering a unique family atmosphere.
Our awesome campus is at the heart of everything we do at ISH, and it’s made more vibrant by our students, faculty, and staff. It serves as the heart of our community, where we’ve created an entire ecosystem that brings together employers, industry leaders, future professionals and experts in education all under one roof.
The high level of practice and the quality of the pedagogical content are definitely the key strengths of the Bachelor in French Pastry Arts. The program is intensive, with a wide scope, which allowed me to acquire a lot of skills as well as confidence. On top of that, the Chef Instructors team is fantastic in the way they manage and support us. All of this truly helped me to be well trained and well prepared.
