The school of culinary arts set up in the 19th century château d'Ecully near Lyon by Paul Bocuse in 1990 in collaboration with the Accor hotel group is well known. This Institute, which annually hosts nearly 330 students from 40 different nationalities, has now acquired a caféology center. A first in France!

How to choose a good café? Origins, grands crus, assemblages: a vocabulary similar to that of the world of wine. A difficult choice at the very least! The quality of a coffee depends on a multitude of factors which the institute aims to analyse in detail. The different origins, the art of roasting, preparation techniques, the health benefits and even the semantics of coffee will not be secrets anymore. For the institute, which was created in association with the Malongo cafés, is not open only to professionals. It also hosts the general public in small groups. A good opportunity to get acquainted with this beverage which was imported  from Africa into Venice in 1615 and without which a good meal is never quite complete.
