About this store
This is a branch of Androuet, the cheese house, and it sits on Rue de la Terrasse in Batignolles, a stretch where you can do a good part of a picnic shop within a few doors. What you notice walking in is the size of the selection: wheels and wedges laid out across a broad range, in a shop that looks the part.
The thing to buy is the Tomme de Brebis. The staff will point you to it, and there is more than one wheel of it behind the counter, so the sensible move is to ask for a taste of what is open and take a piece of the one you like. A few items will set you back somewhere between €5 and €20, which covers a modest wedge or two rather than a whole celebration board.
When the shop is calm, the staff are patient and will happily explain cheeses to you in slow, clear French, correcting nothing and letting you learn. When it is busy, you may be asked to state plainly whether you want a single piece, a board, or an order.
Watch the labels. Some of the older cheeses on display have no price tag in front of them, and the answer, when you ask, is that the older specimens cost the same as the younger ones. Ask before you commit if the price matters to you.
Go for the Tomme de Brebis and ask what is looking good that week.
What to look for
Tomme de Brebis
The cheese the staff suggest, and there is more than one wheel of it behind the counter; ask for a taste before you choose a piece.

The pick list
What to bring home
Tomme de Brebis
Two different Tomme de Brebis wheels were suggested by the staff and both drew praise for their flavour.
Who is this for
This suits a curious browser who wants to stand at a counter, ask what a wheel is, and leave with a wedge of Tomme de Brebis wrapped for the afternoon. It also works for a picnic planner putting together a board in Batignolles, since the range is wide enough to fill one from a single stop.
If what you actually need is bread to go with the cheese, La Maie des Anges on Rue de Lévis in Batignolles is the bakery a minute away.
The verdict
This is a shop to drop into for a Tomme de Brebis rather than a cheese cellar to plan a trip around.
