Hi, I’m Max

In 2022, Laura and I opened our own fromagerie in Montmartre, just below the Sacré-Cœur.

It was a personal challenge: bring cheese back to a neighborhood where the last shop had closed more than 30 years ago.

We weren’t born into a cheese family (fun fact — my dad doesn’t even like cheese). But we fell in love with working with passionate producers, raw milk cheeses, and the people in our community.

Every day, I taste, select and refine cheeses at peak ripeness — the ones I’m truly excited to share.

My goal is simple: help you taste like a local — without the stiff, intimidating atmosphere.

Our Fromagerie in Montmartre

You’ll find our little shop at 2 Rue Ferdinand Flocon, in the peaceful Jules Joffrin neighborhood, at the foot of Montmartre.

We designed it to feel friendly, authentic and relaxed. No stiff atmosphere — just good cheese, good wine, and good conversations.

Every morning, I select cheeses at peak ripeness, the ones I’m genuinely excited to share that day. We work directly with small French producers and age many cheeses ourselves.

Alongside the cheeses, you’ll find artisanal charcuterie and a carefully chosen wine selection — wines that make the cheese shine, not overpower it.

Wine and Cheese Tastings in Paris

The idea for my tastings started naturally.

One day, a group of curious travelers stopped by the shop. We opened a few cheeses, poured some wine, and ended up talking for over an hour — about regions, traditions, and why some pairings work beautifully… and others don’t.

That moment stayed with me.

Now I host small-group wine and cheese tastings in Paris in our stone-walled room next to the shop — maximum 10 guests, intimate and always beginner-friendly.

You don’t need to know anything about wine — I’ll guide you step by step through 8 French cheeses and 5 French wines, with simple pairing logic you can reuse anywhere.

Let’s Eat Cheese Together!

Laura and I run the shop together every day. We taste, select, refine, and welcome people who share our love for products made with care.

If you’re visiting Paris and looking for something authentic and delicious, come see us at the fromagerie — or join one of my wine and cheese tastings in Montmartre.

Come solo, as a couple, or with friends. No need to be a wine expert. I keep things simple, relaxed, and genuinely fun.

Because eating cheese is always better when it brings people together.
