LCB Paris acknowledges that their school is now in effect a school for foreigners (it seemed 80% Japanese, 20% American), & their pastry program is only 2 days/week for 30-some weeks. This of course doesn't mean it's a lesser program, but I just wanted some reports from anyone who has had some experience with the school.
