From a very young age, Chef Clément has been immersed in the world of good food and French culinary traditions.
He often says that it all started thanks to his mother. At home, meals were always prepared from scratch: generous family cooking, fresh ingredients and long moments shared around the table. Naturally, he spent a lot of time in the kitchen from an early age.
Chef Clément was born in the Périgord region, in the town of Périgueux near Bordeaux — a region famous for its rich gastronomy, duck, foie gras and traditional farm cuisine. Growing up in such a culinary environment undoubtedly played a role in shaping his passion for food. His Italian family roots, not far from Venice, also contributed to his love for Mediterranean flavors.
In 2000, following a professional transfer of his father, his family moved to Aix-en-Provence when he was just nine years old. His passion for cooking continued to grow and, at the age of fourteen, he decided to pursue professional culinary training at a cooking school in Marseille, where he completed a five-year culinary program.
A few years later, the idea of creating cooking classes in Provence naturally emerged. In 2011, at the end of his professional training, Chef Clément decided to develop his own cooking class concept — a profession that perfectly matched his personality: independence, sharing knowledge and meeting people from all over the world.

Cooking Classes in Provence
Since 2012, Chef Clément has been offering private in-home cooking classes in Provence, welcoming guests from all over the world to discover French and Provençal cuisine in a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.
Alongside these culinary experiences, he has also developed a strong online presence by sharing recipes, cooking techniques and educational videos on his French YouTube channel, which has reached more than two million views. His social media community has also grown steadily over the years.
Chef Clément has collaborated with several well-known culinary brands such as Kenwood, Ooni, Cuisines Pyram and Alfpac, and has worked as a demonstrator for respected kitchenware brands including Wüsthof, Emile Henry, Scanpan, Bamix and Mastrad.
Over the years, he has built a loyal international clientele. Rather than specializing in only one style of cuisine, he enjoys teaching Provençal dishes, traditional French cuisine, classic pastries and baking, as well as exploring flavors from around the world.
In 2019, a few months before the Covid pandemic, Chef Clément launched his online cooking school VisioChef, offering live and recorded cooking classes accessible from anywhere.
In just a few years, VisioChef has become a reference for online cooking classes in France, ranking first on Google France for the search “online cooking class”.
The program includes two formats: recorded cooking lessons filmed in the chef’s kitchen and accessible at any time, as well as live cooking workshops via Zoom, where participants cook the same recipes together step by step.
During the Covid years, Chef Clément hosted hundreds of online classes, sometimes in English and with up to 400 participants simultaneously for large corporate events and team-building experiences.
In 2023, Chef Clément began a new chapter by becoming an olive oil producer in Provence.
Located in Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts near Marseille, the estate includes more than 1,000 olive trees, cultivated with great care to produce high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
He created the brand L’Huile des Remparts, which reflects both his culinary background and his deep connection to the land. The oil is available in limited quantities during cooking classes and online through the dedicated website.
Although the olive grove still requires several years of careful maintenance before reaching its full production potential, the oil already offers exceptional quality and character, making this new adventure a natural extension of the chef’s passion for Mediterranean ingredients.
