What the Marais cheese counter is like
Fromagerie Beillevaire Paris Saint-Antoine is a branch of the Beillevaire group, on Rue Saint-Antoine in Le Marais. The sandwiches are generously made and displayed so passers-by notice them from the street.
The counter is where the buying happens. Comté is aged and sold by weight. Kaltbach, a creamy variety, is the one that tends to win people over after a sample. The unheated butter is the quiet draw: under three euros, and cheaper than the heated version sold in Japan. Around lunchtime a tartiflette is prepared at the entrance and sold by weight at €21.50/kg, hearty enough to work as a starter.
For something to eat on the spot, the prepared sandwiches are the obvious move, and the to-go salads change weekly, two different ones each time with a vegetarian option always among them. Cookies sit quietly by the register. Cutting or vacuum-sealing your cheese adds a charge, so ask before you hand over a wedge.
Prices run high on the aged cheeses, with a 12-month Comté at €34/kg. Come on a weekday or Saturday when the full day runs to 7:45 pm, and Monday the shop stays shut.
The counter staff are quick to offer a taste when you ask. This is a shop for cheese lovers on a Marais walk, not a place to do a week's provisioning.
What to look for

Under three euros, and the version sold abroad is heated, so this is the one worth carrying home.

Comté
Aged Comté is sold by weight at the counter, and a taste is offered before buying.

Who is this for
This suits a cheese lover who wants to taste before buying and will carry a wedge of Comté or a pack of unheated butter home. It also works for anyone wandering Le Marais at lunchtime who wants a generously made sandwich or a tub of salad to eat outside.
If you need a full basket of everyday provisions rather than a wedge of cheese, Supermarché G20 further along Rue Saint-Antoine stays open until midnight most nights.
The verdict
A small branch with an extra charge for cutting or vacuum-sealing cheese.
