What to expect
This is a specialty shop in Canal Saint-Martin. It suits a stop off Château d'Eau station when you want cheese on the street.
Start with the classics if you want a mixed selection: Sainte-Maure, Reblochon, Epoisses, Morbier and Livarot are all part of the line-up, so you can build a mixed selection. The Brillat-Savarin with candied lemon and the Sichuan pepper cheese add a clear twist to familiar formats.
The shop also works well when you need packing help. Staff vacuum seal individual cheeses for air travel, and that makes it practical if you are carrying a few pieces home rather than buying for the same day. Tastings are part of the experience too.
If you like original French cheese and want it packed for the trip out of Paris, this is a stop to focus on. It also works for a gift order, since a whole Brie de Meaux was ordered ahead for a christening and arrived ready for the table.
What to look for
Vacuum-packed cheeses for travel
Individual cheeses are sealed so they can go in a flight bag.
Brie de Meaux
A whole wheel can be ordered ahead, so the shop works for a table piece rather than only small selections.
Flavoured Brillat-Savarin and spiced cheeses
Candied lemon and Sichuan pepper give the familiar soft cheese a sharper, more original profile.

Classic aged French cheeses

Who is this for
This suits travellers who want to pack cheese in a bag for the flight home, because the shop vacuums each piece for travel. If you like a mix of familiar names and more original flavours, the selection gives you both.
Épicerie du Faubourg suits the different need for broader everyday groceries and Turkish or Near Eastern staples, while this stop is all about cheese.
The verdict
It still suits travellers who want regional French cheese, travel packing, and a chance to pick something more original than the standard shelf.
