Musée Vivant du fromage

We came here to do a tour and learn about cheese. My wife and I are big time foodies that love to learn about different stuff. So a cheese tour was up our alley. We loved the tour. It’s small and quick but interesting. I’d recommend to do this for anyone. Also cheaper then the much more expensive options that are minimum of 70 dollars a person.

This is an informative and entertaining museum. The master cheese-maker who accompanies the visitors is witty and erudite, impressively bingual in French and English. Learning about cheeses and then being able to taste them too was an excellent way to make the visit truly memorable: you can round this off with a glass of wine paired to the cheeses you try. Definitely recommend and will be returning!

We almost didn’t go here because we walked in and it looked a bit strange, but we signed up for the one hour tour - and we are so glad we did! The museum itself is quite small, but the tour at the end is the real deal. There’s a cheese maker (who studied cheese at University), who takes you through the various families of cheese with tastings. We got the paired glass of wine, which I highly recommend because who wants to eat cheese dry. We sampled about six or seven cheeses, some of which were made on premises at the museum. The tour group was very small. There was only about five of us who joined the tour that day and so we got to ask all our questions. The cheesemaker was kind and funny and very knowledgeable. She spoke many different languages. All your cheese questions will be answered. With over 3000 types of cheeses made in France, you might as well come learn about some of them while you’re here. We had a great time. Can’t believe it just opened last year, feels like France should have had a cheese museum for hundreds of years already! Also worth noting that we bought cheese here. It was (without exaggeration) the best cheese we’ve had in our whole week stay in Paris. And believe me, we tried to find the best cheese in Paris all week. The museum works with small independent farms, the cheeses they sell are unique and delicious. And fairly priced. Highly recommend the Comte and the Roquefort. After we got some cheeses from here (plus wine and a baguette from down the street), we went for a picnic at the sculpture park afterward. Our favorite cheeses from this entire trip came from this “living cheese museum.” Very memorable. Would highly recommend the tour and especially their cheese counter.

There is nothing more special than cheese. A place that is a fromagerie, museum and teaches cheese making is obviously a must go. You enter in the shop and the museum is tucked in the back. There is a little test you can do to find out what cheese you are, there are historical cheese making instruments and lots of information on what milk can be used to make cheese and different brotherhoods of cheese. The cheese tasting part is naturally the highlight. Trying some of France’s most famous cheese is just incredibly special. The best part is right after you try all the cheeses you can buy your favourite one on the way out! If you love cheese this is such a great opportunity to learn!

Great ‘boutique’ museum in the heart of Paris with the opportunity of cheese tasting. Very modern and interactive. Suitable for kids 5 onwards. Nice knowledgeable staff. Nice selection of cheeses to buy. The museum has its own toilet.

Had an amazing time on the guided tour at the Cheese Museum—learning the essentials of French cheesemaking, diving into the rich culture, and of course, indulging in some delicious tastings. A must-do for any cheese lover in the City of Light! #Paris🇫🇷

Absolutely amazing experience- museum was interesting, but the highlight was definitely the guided tasting. Incredible cheeses, and we'll thoughtout, interesting commentary. 10/10 would recommend for any cheese lover

This is a great museum for anyone wanting to know more about the culture and techniques of cheese making. The guided tour and tasting was very informative and our cheese maker was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It is a rather small museum (only a couple rooms) however it is filled with fun facts and great interactive components. I enjoyed the personality quiz to see what type of cheese you are, I was a Reblochon! The location is easy to get to as it is only a short walk away from other nearby tourist sites such as Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle. I would highly recommend visiting as this was one of the highlights of our France trip and is definitely worth a stop :)
