A cheese counter in Bastille
Corner du Fromager is an independent cheese shop on Rue de la Roquette, in Bastille, selling regional cheeses, butter and a few wines. It is a small shop.
The 18-month Comté is the one to start with. Raclette cheese is sold for home machines, and it costs only a little more than the supermarket version, with advice on how to serve it. Look for the Mothais on a leaf, a goat cheese, and the Brillat Savarin. The Beillevaire line is here too, and there is a Roncevaux made from goat's and sheep's milk.
Platters are assembled to order, and the shop handles them at short notice. The staff know the cheeses.
The raclette is the clearest example of the prices, sometimes cheaper than supermarket eggs. Friday and Saturday it stays open until 8pm; Tuesday to Thursday it closes for lunch between 1:45pm and 4pm, so time your visit around that.
Come for the Comté, the raclette and the platters, and for the advice that comes with them.
What to look for
18-month aged Comté
A long-aged Comté with the depth that comes from a year and a half in the cellar; it is the cheese that brings people back.
Raclette cheese
Sold by the piece for home raclette, only a few euros more than a supermarket version, with advice on how to serve it.
Mothais on a leaf
A goat cheese wrapped in a leaf, mild and creamy, and the one to pick if you want something you will not find in most shops.

18-month aged Comté
A long-aged Comté that one regular keeps coming back for, cited as the reason for repeat visits.
Mothais on a leaf
A leaf-wrapped goat cheese, and the one to get first if you want a single highlight from a purchase.
Brillat Savarin
A soft triple-cream cheese a customer singles out as delicious after a friendly counter recommendation.
Who is this for
The cheeses are sold by the piece and the platters are put together on request. The Roncevaux and the Mothais on a leaf are among the picks.
If you need the bread to go with the cheese, Boulangerie Manobaké on Rue de Charonne is the place for an apple and rhubarb turnover warm from the oven.
The verdict
For a Bastille picnic, a raclette night or a last-minute platter, the Comté and the counter advice make it worth the detour.
