Spend an hour at Paris’s Living Cheese Museum on Île Saint-Louis. A French or English-speaking guide, possibly Gabriel or Thomas, explains French cheese, demonstrates cheesemaking in a small dairy, and leads a tasting of four cheeses before you browse the shop.
“Learning about the ins and outs of cheesemaking from the cheesemonger himself was both informative and entertaining!”
Visit three small museums at your own pace: Salinas del Carmen for traditional sea salt, the Majorero Cheese Museum for goat-cheese culture, and the Windmill Interpretation Center for island milling and kneaded gofio. Entry is valid for 365 days, but you arrange your own transport.
