La Cloche à Fromage is a restaurant in the Petite France neighborhood known for its striking glass dome. The dome displays various French cheese varieties stored under controlled conditions.
The restaurant opened in 1988 and gained recognition soon after for its exceptional cheese collection. Its founding came during a period when regional French cheese traditions were being celebrated anew.
The name comes from the distinctive glass dome that houses cheeses from across French regions. You can see how the selection reflects the range of local designations and traditions.
The restaurant sits in a central location in the old town and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should note that this is a working restaurant, so planning ahead for a meal makes sense.
