Musée Du Fromage - Review - 4th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"Paris is home to over 100 museums, but just one is focused on cheese. First, you’ll explore the dynamic exhibits detailing the history of French cheese and how it’s made on your own. Then, an expert cheesemonger doubling as a guide will answer any lingering questions before leading you through a tasting of some of the country’s best. Enjoy a discount in the on-site shop on your way out." - Emily Monaco

Get a Sneak Peek of Paris' First Cheese Museum

"Founded by French winemaker Pierre Brisson after he noticed a lack of a dedicated cheese institution in Paris, this immersive museum on Île Saint‑Louis opened in June as the city's first cheese museum. It grew out of a decade‑long cheese school into a living, high‑tech experience housed in a 300‑square‑meter 1639 building with exposed wood beams and stone caves. All visits are guided by cheese experts and feature live cheesemaking behind glass, hands‑on demonstrations of traditional techniques, interactive displays that map regional producers and email suggested routes, and a tasting of four cheeses accompanied by dynamic projections that evoke each cheese’s origin. A petite boutique sells hard‑to‑find French cheeses, gourmet souvenirs, and wines organized by their best pairings; add‑ons include island food tours that forage at local bakeries and bespoke wine‑and‑cheese pairings, plus cheesemaking workshops and tasting courses run by Brisson’s company. Tours are offered in French and English." - Kristy Alpert

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

A must-visit for all tourists who want to get more out of their cheese-tasting in France! The guided tour is super informative and gives you an opportunity to really learn something about cheese and its history. I liked it how the museum is compact and interactive. I think the concept is very learner-friendly and what you hear and see will very likely remain in your memory. The guide spoke excellent English, and in the morning it was almost a private cheese lesson for the few English-speaking guests. We also got to taste some cheeses and they are were crazy tasty and delicious. I highly recommend to write down or photograph all the cheese infos you can find there, as it will raise your later cheese tasting experiences to a whole new level when you’re able to search and recognize cheeses from different areas. They also have a cheese shop that you can visit while visiting the museum, or just stop by to buy some cheese. The staff is really enthusiastic about cheese and they know everything about it, so this place is optimal for a tourist who needs good advice for selecting the cheese. High recommendations.
