\u00cele Saint-Louis is one of two islands on the Seine, just east of \u00cele de la Cit\u00e9, famous for Cath\u00e9drale Notre-Dame de Paris. Way back when, the former was mostly inhabited by cows and originally owned by Notre-Dame cathedral, but now, the quaint island is filled with boutique hotels, bistros, patisseries, and a new resident as of June 14, 2024: le Mus\u00e9e du Fromage. This museum of cheese is the brainchild of Pierre Brisson and run by the Paroles de Fromagers, a society of cheese and wine professionals dedicated to cheese education and preserving French heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though debated, France lays claim to creating between 300 and 1,000 types of cheeses, from Brie and Camembert to Tomme de Savoie and Valen\u00e7ay. Styles range from bloomy rind to washed rind to blue, and many contain the PDO and PGI seals, which guarantee product authenticity so you know you\u2019re getting the real deal. The history of cheese production dates to 2500 B.C. in Mesopotamia, and pops up in Homer\u2019s The Odyssey <\/em>as the writer describes Cyclops straining curds in wicker baskets. Cut to France after the fall of Rome, and monks began to master recipes for Munster, Maroilles, and Pont- l’\u00c9v\u00eaque, which are still used today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When crossing the Pont Saint-Louis bridge from Notre- Dame to \u00cele Saint-Louis, you\u2019ll find yourself humming \u201cLa Vie En Rose\u201d and slowing your pace (I mean, it\u2019s Paris, embrace it) as you escape the bustle of tourism just across the water. You may even pop in a brasserie for un verre de vin before you stumble upon an unassuming cheese shop along Rue Saint-Louis. Upon entering the museum, you\u2019ll be greeted with a nearly wall-to-wall cheese case on the left, and a stone wall on your right that houses bric-a-brac and various cheese accompaniments, perfect for curating a dreamy Parisian picnic. For 20 euros (10 for kids), you can participate in a tasting and tour the history of French cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brisson tells Euronews, \u201cPeople can see cheesemaking live and also talk to the cheesemaker, so that\u2019s an important part of what we do. We are working with many traditional farmers, so we want people [to feel like they\u2019re] kind of traveling when they taste the cheese. We are opening a little window in the heart of Paris to the rural side of France.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum houses two conjoining rooms in addition to the shop space: the first is where tour guides describe various French cheeses and features a large wooden light- up map highlighting styles from each region. The second, larger space guides patrons through the history of French cheese, how it\u2019s made, and the importance of terroir; it\u2019s also used as a micro-dairy for making camembert-style cheese on site. There\u2019s also a large interactive wall that allows guests to select a style of cheese and learn the specific process of how it\u2019s made from farm to table, as well as a wall of plaques describing various Cheese Brotherhoods, or confr\u00e9ries, across the country. And of course, there\u2019s the tasting. During my visit, our group sampled Valen\u00e7ay, Camembert, and Fourme de Montbrison, a mild cow\u2019s milk blue from the Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes. The whole experience clocked in at about one hour (plus 30 minutes of perusing the shop and chit- chatting with other guests).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re out and about for a day trip along the Siene, le Mus\u00e9e du Fromage is worth a stop. Pop in for the tour, and after, curate a perfectly Parisian cheese plate that\u2019ll have you saying oh l\u00e0 l\u00e0 for the remainder of your trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
