- You'll also have the chance to chat with the cheesemonger about cheeses and spirits.
This experience is full of surprises in a place dedicated to wine and steeped in history.

Nice place, very good sommelier. A visit to the cellar(s) would have been a plus.

Françoise's review
In a pleasant atmosphere and in a very nice place, the tasting was surprising. Our host was fascinating and informative. We had a great time.

Good cheeses, albeit in mini portions, excellent spirits. Good explanations of both the wine and the cheeses, but nothing on the cheese/alcohol pairing, no experience or discovery of this combination in the mouth! But that's what we were looking for! For 109 € you can expect more. In nearby Rue Bailleul, a 1-star Michelin Guide 2024 restaurant offers a 3-step lunch with 2 glasses of wine for the same price.

Pleasant moment, but would have liked a more in-depth tour of the site. Photo of the site not really in keeping with the tasting location.

It's an improbable and atypical moment, just like the proposal, which we really enjoyed, it was a moment out of time with an expert, really a pleasant surprise.

CATHERINE's review
A very pleasant experience, with top-quality cheeses that you can't find everywhere, and some very original pairings to accompany the drinks. As an added bonus, our group (4 couples) was accompanied by a very interesting and sympathetic hostess, and the venue (vaulted cellar) was magnificent. Nathalie
