François Priet cheesemaker, Cheesery in the 20th arrondissement, Paris, France
François Priet Fromager is a cheese shop on Rue des Pyrénées in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. It carries raw-milk cheeses from French farms as well as selections from other European countries, including some with protected designations of origin.
The shop was founded in 1952, continuing a family tradition in cheese-making and selling. It moved to its current location on Rue des Pyrénées in 1989.
François Priet Fromager is part of a tradition of neighborhood cheese shops that remain central to daily food life in Paris. Regulars stop by to pick up cheese for dinner or a gathering, and the staff often know their customers by name.
The shop is closed on Mondays but open the rest of the week, including Saturdays. Coming early in the morning gives you the best chance of finding the full range, as some pieces sell out during the day.
The shop offers cheese gift boxes that can hold anywhere from three to more than ten varieties, sometimes paired with a bottle of wine. A weekly or monthly subscription service is also available, with the contents changing according to the season.
