Discover the Heart of French Cheese with Me

Join me in my little fromagerie in Montmartre for a relaxed and authentic wine and cheese tasting in Paris — where great products, real stories, and good company come together.

No snobbery. No complicated wine vocabulary.
Just beautiful French cheeses, carefully chosen wines, and a moment you’ll actually remember.

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 Cheese Shop in Montmartre

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

We designed it to feel friendly, authentic and relaxed. No stiff atmosphere here — 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.

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 12 guests).

It’s intimate, interactive, and always beginner-friendly. You don’t need to know anything about wine — I’ll guide you step by step.

You’ll taste cow, goat and sheep cheeses, paired with carefully selected French wines, while learning 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.

You can stop by the shop — or join one of my cheese and wine 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.
