"This cheese shop is breaking all the rules of the typical Parisian fromagerie. Open on Mondays? Check. Friendly, English-speaking service? Check and check. They even stand out from their competitors by offering a free sample or two. But despite being just steps from the Louvre, this place is no tourist trap. The expert mongers here are passionate about their craft, whether it’s sourcing small-batch raw milk Auvergnat chèvres or coating tommes in spent aromatic plants from their gin distillery. If you don't have a mini fridge, grab a picnic box to enjoy on the banks of the nearby Seine. In summer, take advantage of their temporary terrace to dig in on-site, or head next door to their historic wine cellar, where they offer tastings pairing cheese with wine, whisky, perry, or even sake." - Emily Monaco
