About this store
Fromagerie Quatrehomme is an independent fromagerie on Rue de Sèvres in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
Start with the Brie de Meaux, rich and well balanced, and ask for the peppered version. An aged Comté brings depth of flavour and holds up well in a gift selection. The butter is sold alongside the cheeses and is flavourful enough to buy on its own. Tommes are a good way into the range; ask for advice and you may leave with four different ones. The range runs from goat cheese and blue cheese to Brie, with wine and charcuterie on the shelves too, and you can buy several small pieces to try rather than committing to a whole wedge.
Staff assemble custom platters for dinners and gifts, including PDO cheeses, jam and quince paste, and they will talk through a selection a week ahead if you have a party coming. Cheese can be vacuum-packed for travel, with cool bags sold to keep it chill on the journey home.
Prices lean high. Set against that, the quality is what you are paying for, and a platter for a large dinner can still come in under €150. Go early in the morning if you want the shop at its calmest, and say what you are after so the staff can recommend and let you sample before you commit.
It suits anyone building a picnic, a dinner party or a gift for someone who cares about cheese.

If you need farm-fresh seasonal produce to go with the cheese rather than more cheese, Les Saisonniers - Saint Placide on Rue Saint-Placide is the nearby stop for that.
