The cheese museum was truly excellent. If you like cheese and know a little about the different types, this will be of especial interest. I cannot recommend highly enough. I'm so glad I went. I learned about timing, types, reasons for differences, and more.

Discover French cheese culture

The Living Cheese Museum in Paris takes you on a journey through centuries of tradition, from how monks aged their wheels in medieval cellars to how modern artisans preserve regional methods today.

Witness live cheesemaking in action

Through glass panels, you can watch live demonstrations of how milk is transformed into fresh cheese, step by step. From curdling to molding, it’s a fascinating look into the process that makes every slice and wheel possible.

Explore a historic cheese cellar

Descend into a real 17th-century aging cellar and learn how temperature, humidity, and time shape a cheese’s final texture and flavor. It’s cool, quiet, and filled with wheels in various stages of aging, a true behind-the-scenes peek into this critical part of the craft.

Taste classic regional cheeses

Led by a passionate expert, you’ll sample four different French cheeses, each chosen to highlight a different region or style, from soft and creamy to firm and nutty. It’s a guided sensory experience that brings everything you’ve learned during the visit to life.

Learn to make cheese yourself

You'll experience the full process of crafting fresh cheese from start to finish. You’ll stir, mold, and shape it yourself while learning the science and stories behind every step. This offers a fun and interactive chance to connect with one of France’s most iconic food traditions.

Things to know before booking your Cheese Museum tickets

Which experience should you choose?

  • With the Guided Tour with Tastings ticket, you’ll have access to the Living Cheese Museum, along with a curated tasting of four traditional French cheeses. A cheese expert will walk you through the exhibits and share how cheese is made, aged, and enjoyed across France. Tours are available in English or French.

  • The Cheesemaking Workshop with Tastings takes place at Paris’s only Cheese School, a separate location from the museum. You’ll learn how to make fresh cheese from start to finish and enjoy a tasting at the end. This ticket does not include entry to the Living Cheese Museum. If you’d like to visit the museum as well, the tickets need to be booked separately. This experience is offered only in English.

  • The Art of Pairing Cheese and Wine ticket includes a guided tasting held in the cellar located beneath the museum. You’ll sample a curated selection of French cheeses and wines, with insights into how they complement each other. The session is offered in English or French. Please note that this ticket does not include access to the Cheese Museum, and if you’d like to visit the exhibits, a separate museum ticket is required.

  • Museum entry is included only in the Guided Tour ticket. The workshop and cheese pairing sessions happen at separate locations.

When to book?

To get your preferred time slot, especially for workshops and cheese pairing sessions, it’s best to book 1–2 weeks in advance. This is especially important during the summer season (June-August), weekends, holidays, and school breaks when spots fill up quickly.
