A cheese counter in Le Marais
Thomas artisan fromager is an independent fromager on Rue Rambuteau in Le Marais, and the first thing you notice is how little room there is: a single room.
The raclette wrap is what pulls you in off the street, a grilled sandwich of raclette cheese, ham and potatoes, hearty enough to share and a quick lunch if you are on the move. For the cheese itself, ask for the truffled Brillat-Savarin or the truffled camembert, and the Ossau-Iraty, a raw milk sheep cheese, is the standout of a mixed purchase. A board of cow, goat and sheep cheeses comes with bread and red wine at the tables in front of the shop.
The shop works on advice and wrapping: ask for recommendations and you get them, and the cheese can be vacuum-sealed for a flight home. There are tables outside.
Value is part of the draw here, and the truffle cheeses are the splurge against the everyday goat cheeses and hard cheeses for raclette or fondue.

It also suits anyone building a picnic or carrying cheese home, with vacuum-sealing offered for travel purchases and a truffled Brillat-Savarin among the cheeses.
If you need everyday groceries rather than a cheese lunch, Franprix on Rue Rambuteau opens at 8:30 am for daily essentials near the Centre Pompidou.
The verdict
The shop is not a place for a guided tasting, but it still suits anyone after a raclette wrap and some truffled cheese to take home.
