To start, I love cheese. This shop was part of a wine and cheese pairing tour we booked through…read moreViator - https://www.viator.com/tours/Lyon/Gastronomy-Walking-Tour-in-Lyon/d829-29575P3 . 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!
