The Experience
The Experience
At a charming cheese boutique in the Marais neighborhood, we’ll dive straight into the vast and exciting world that is French cheese: the history, production process, science, regional specialties, and cultural significance.
After exploring the cheeses in store, we’ll descend to the 17th century cellar for the cheese-and-wine tasting, and even step into the cheese-aging chamber. While I can’t guarantee that we’ll try all 500+ varieties of French cheeses that are known to exist, you will taste a wide and representative selection! We’ll also pair the cheeses with delightful natural wines that will have your taste buds singing.

“Plenty of wine and cheese!”
“Very relaxed atmosphere. We got a lot of information as well. I didn’t know there was so much to know about French cheeses. Cheeses were chosen with care and the wines were great as well. Totally worth the money!“
Ida
“Book it right away!”
“One of the best experiences that I’ve ever had. From the sultry cellar dining room, the tour into the cheesemonger’s aging room, to the selection of post-cheese-tasting chocolate truffle. Make sure you come with an empty stomach.“
