Barthélémy
Barthélémy is one of the great cheese shops of Paris — a tiny, revered Left-Bank fromagerie that has supplied serious cheese lovers (and, reportedly, the Élysée Palace) for decades. The selection is impeccable, aged in their own cellars, and the staff will guide you to exactly the right thing at exactly the right ripeness. For assembling a cheese course that will ruin you for supermarket cheese forever, this is the address.
A small, historic Saint-Germain fromagerie renowned for impeccably aged cheeses and expert guidance — long a favorite of Parisian cheese devotees.
