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 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.
Thanks to my training at Ecole Ducasse I acquired a strong culinary background that I would never have got in another culinary school. That knowledge is crucial to build the foundation of your career. The Bachelor in Culinary Arts helped me in that, when I am in the kitchen, I feel comfortable and I can work faster and more efficiently than if I had a basic training. I’m really proud of that.
