The first Cheese Museum in France opened its doors in June in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. Located in the heart of the capital on Île Saint-Louis, the new museum was designed by the company Paroles de Fromagers to celebrate cheese in all its forms, from ancestral manufacturing techniques to modern tastings.

the museum offers a complete immersion in the world of this emblematic product of French gastronomy. Visitors can discover the history of cheese, its different varieties and the traditional know-how of the regions of France. All with the help of galleries and interactive exhibitions that highlight the stages of production from milking the cows to maturing.

The museum also offers tastings during which visitors can sample rare cheeses and discover the wines with which to pair them, as well as practical workshops to learn how to make your own cheese.

The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 7pm and the prices are 13 euros for children and 20 euros for adults. For more information, visit the official website .

And if you don’t get your fill of dairy at the Musée du Fromage, there’s a Berthillon ice cream shop on the same street.
