I expected to find factory tours more readily. The only factory I have found so far was in Gruyere, Switzerland. Although I must admit I haven't tried as hard as I could. I think you'll have more luck when you visit a region known for its cheese, such as Gruyere. Hi Nathalie

Good links and guidance you have here. Sorry haven't got around the blog much, wonder if you are based Paris ? I am in Paris for this week and next, so anywhere near Paris would be best - for time and ticket money. Many years ago I watched on TV a cycling tour around cheese factories (in English). Yet none of the guide books seem to pay much attention to people who want to go see how cheese is made and taste. If you have any advice could you please send to my email ?

Therefore I am going to settle in tonight with a big slab of Hirtenkase cheese and a thick ale and dream about Heidleberg.

]]> Comment on Vintage Cheese Signs in a Paris Flea Market by Thomas Perkins http://www.fromageblog.com/vintage-cheese-signs-in-a-paris-flea-market/comment-page-1/#comment-74 Thomas Perkins Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:00:36 +0000 http://www.fromageblog.com/?p=3#comment-74 Hi, I just found this blog entry and found it interesting. There are a lot of things that people in France collect that Americans ignore, but a collection of cheese labels is inexpensive and fun. Did you know that they collect those little "cages" that you take off the top of Champagne bottles before you pop the cork? Check out my website if you get a moment. We take a group of people to Europe antiquing and the Paris flea market is part of the fun. Here,s my url: http://www.EuropeAntiqueTrip.com Hi, I just found this blog entry and found it interesting.
