The tour guide brought his own wine to pair with the cheeses that were selected. (He also has taken many classes in oenology and is truly knowledgeable.) The wines alone would have been amazing, but paired with the cheese it made for a truly excellent experience. The owner of the cheese shop was super enthusiastic about how he had just started the business seven months ago and how he was doing well. His passion for cheese and offering to share a taste of anything we wanted outside of the norm was very cool. If I lived in the area i'd make this shop a regular spot to score my cheese.

I'm partial to Comte, and they have a number of options, depending on your taste and price pain threshhold. For the local favourite St Marcellin, they ask when you'll eat it, and then poke several rounds to find one that will be perfectly ripe when you want it. They also do an excellent truffled Brillat-Savarin. For me, this is a different experience to top cheese shops in Paris. There, if you only speak basic French, you are looked at somewhere between pity and disgust, and get the sense that they are only taking your money because they have to. Here, they were smiling and friendly, helpful about sizes, and proved that you don't need a lot of language skills to buy some amazing cheeses. Highly recommend!

They also have my favorite bordier butter (get the yuzu!) We got an apricot goat cheese, a vacherin, and a chaource, which I had never tried before. They label all the cheeses and specify what kind of animal milk and whether it's raw or pasteurized. CHARCUTERIE: A big selection, along with fresh meats and sausages WINE: You can get a glass to take to your table and have a cheese / charcuterie plate with the stuff you gathered at the other shops.

In addition to a large selection of cheeses, including a delicious truffled St Marcelin, which was absolutely delicious, they also have a selection of butters and yogurts by Bordier. I've tried all of their butters, which I completely love, but hadn't seen their yogurt before. Wow, what a treat, so creamy and fresh, fantastic flavours. If you haven't tried Bordier butter, buy some to go with some excellent bread from one of the nearby bakery stalls, and enjoy. There are a range of flavours, and all are pretty fantastic. We actually usually bring a few packs of butter back to the UK, slice into chunks, and freeze which works surprisingly well. Service was helpful, and credit cards were accepted. Not much English, but patient with our bad French.

The menus are on chalkboards on the wall. The waiter was extremely helpful and said he would choose our cheese/meats for us. We got the mixed plate, which included two meats and three cheeses. He also paired wines for us and recommended we get a salad. We had the following meats and cheeses: 1. jambon cru lyonnaise 2. chorizo doux 3. Brillat-Savarin (paired with radish) 4. Sechons (paired with dried fruit) 5. Fougerus (paired with marmalade) I enjoyed both meats, but really enjoyed the creamy Fougerus cheese with the marmalade. The salad gave a lightness to the meal and helped cleanse our palates between meats and cheeses. The place is small and cozy, but lively! I appreciate the excellent service and friendliness of the waitstaff here.
