I came here on my last day in Paris so that I could get some cheese to bring back home with me. I was a bit nervous selecting which cheese to get since A) I'm not too familiar with very refined cheeses, and B) I have a good French accent but do not speak it well so people just stare at me. Thankfully, I was able to convey that I had a flight later that day, and the very nice cheese monger was able to vacuum seal my cheese for the flight. The only problem now was going to be TSA.
I got some Tomme Crayeuse and Maroilles, both excellent milk cheeses that my parents liked a lot. They have a wide variety of other cheeses as well from all over the country. Too bad I was in Paris for only such a short time that I couldn't try out any other ones. read more
