BARTHELEMY

Madame Barthelemy’s fromagerie is loved by all the kings horses and all the kings men, even the last president and his prime minister. Her shop is cozy, a narrow slice of aged comte. She is always behind the bar by the brie de meaux with a story and a souri.

SALON DU FROMAGE HASIDA

Hasida is a gold medal winning Japanese fromagerie hiding in the first arrondissement like a secret snow flower.
