Experiential Classes



Our experiential classes give our students the opportunity to learn French through experience: mindfulness classes, cooking workshops, yoga and Pilates in French, and more! Set against the backdrop of our beautiful 6-acre park, brand-new classrooms, and welcoming community spaces, these programs turn language learning into a lived experience, blending movement, exploration, and authentic connection with fellow Francophiles and French speakers of all levels.

Brittany and Crêpe-Making


More information coming soon!



Travel to Brittany, this beautiful region of the West of France for an evening, through the art of crêpe-making and the opinions of a proud Breton. We’ll talk about the geography, the culture, the traditions of the region. We’ll also learn how to make its most famous dish, “La crêpe”, its toppings, through a demonstration and sampling.

This class is taught by Emma Le Du, a French native from Brittany. Crêpes and galettes are a long-rooted geographic and family tradition which represent the authenticity and excellence of the region. All materials will be provided by the instructor. 

Emma Le Du
INSTRUCTOR

Emma Le Dû grew up in Brittany, in the west of France, where half of the restaurants are crêperies. a background in electrical engineering, a Master in Public Administration, and experience running a classroom technology nonprofit operating in rural Latin America, she comes to the Pantry through an unusual path. Her ambition, though, is to make Seattle the second best place in the world for “state of the art” crêpes and galettes — and to share her love of Brittany, its unique Celtic culture, and its culinary traditions with anyone who is willing to learn.

Registration will open on August 6th.
