The 7 Best Cheese Shops in Paris (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 7 picks

The best cheese shops in Paris in 2026 are Quatrehomme on Rue de Sèvres, Marie-Anne Cantin near the Champ de Mars, Barthélémy on Rue de Grenelle, Laurent Dubois at Maubert, Androuet on Rue Mouffetard, Alléosse in the 17th and Griffon near École Militaire.

A Paris fromagerie is as much about the cellar as the counter: the best shops are affineurs, which means they mature cheeses themselves. Staff will usually cut to order, advise on ripeness for the day you plan to eat and, at several shops, run tastings. Many close on Monday and for part of Sunday, and some shut for a few weeks in August, so check each shop's own page before you go. We have not quoted prices; they depend on the cheese and the season.
