Exciting courses. Membership discounts. A chance to meet new friends. An invitation to expand personal and professional horizons. And loads of prizes!

These are just some of the attractions of WICE’s Open House, taking place Sept. 20.

Those who register to attend, and actually turn up on the day, stand a chance to win an exclusive cooking demonstration at the famous Cordon Bleu school, which has a gleaming new campus by the Seine.

This prize, valued at around 95 euros per person, is among several that will be on offer at Open House for which participants will be entered in the draw. Additionally, visitors will learn about WICE and its extensive range of programs.
