My best friend is on crutches, and he did absolutely everything he could to help her in an environment that is not easy for people on crutches, as there are narrow stairs you need to climb. We started by learning about cheese aging, which is more interesting than it sounds then we jump right into making our cheese and butter! It's really amazing how quickly you can make it. And it was really amazing how delicious it was... Especially the butter. At the end of the class, Pierre brought out wine and some additional cheeses, and we all had our butter and cheese on baguette with wine. This was such an unexpected highlight during our trip. We only did it because we had "cooking class" on a list of things to do in 2023, and we were all so glad that we did it! Highly recommend!

There are two with truffle but get the hard truffle cheese. We devoured it.

We stopped at a larger producer to have whites, went on to have a fabulous lunch with fresh cheeses and salad, tried wines from the barrel at different stages and then headed to some caves at a smaller producer that had a lovely combination of reds and whites. Our tour was so perfect we engaged him for a second tour, of Reims and Champagne region. Luiz took us to the historical Notre Dame of Reims where we got a little history lesson and then off to a larger facility that produces champagne (Mumm) where we got a very in depth tour and background of how traditional champagne is made. The highlight was a stop for a toast in some vineyards with a special bottle he selected of one of his favorites. At our last stop, Robert Allait we were able to try a variety of champagnes. Both tours were a highlight of our whole trip because of Luiz. He is passionate about what he does, thoughtful and a wonderful educator.

I'd bookmarked Barthélémy when looking for new places to enjoy for a recent solo visit of mine then coincidentally my bff recommended them to me a few days later mentioning Ina Garten loves this cheese store, so I knew it was a must. When you walk through the door you will feel what it feels and smells like to have entered cheese heaven! You will say Holy Cow!!! pun intended but it's not all cow, it's goat, and sheep and everything your little cheese loving heart could desire. This is the most gorgeous cheese store. I have my favorites here in the states... Murray's, Cowgirl Creamery, Rogue Creamery and many others but I was ready to dive right in to the delish French options here. I was greeted immediately and provided with superb service. I had no one particular thing in mind I simply wanted to purchase a whole bunch of everything. We spent a good amount of time going over many of the cheeses and I selected several to vacuum seal to bring home in addition to a couple to enjoy during my stay in France. If you are a cheese lover, you must visit Barthélémy.

Located at 33 Rue des Abbesses, this small, warm dining room feels more like a neighborhood living room than a restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed, intimate, and unapologetically authentic. The beef stew arrives in a copper pot, generous and deeply flavorful, with slow-braised beef that falls apart at the touch of a spoon alongside carrots and potatoes. It tastes like a dish that has been given the time it deserves. The house champagne is excellent and priced honestly, and the cheesecake aux fruits rouges is the best The Famous Chef Thomas has eaten, perfectly balanced with fresh berries and a bright fruit coulis.

Skip the tourist places--this is an easy 6-8 minute walk from the epicenter of the Quartier Latin and just a couple blocks from Le Colvert, my other favorite place!
