Fromagerie Barthélémy

St-Germain & Les Invalides


Forget the incredible cheeses for a moment (this place supplies the Palais de l'Élysée): with its its marble cupboards, beautiful blue-tiled floors and sheep figurines, this old-fashioned cheese shop is a jewel box of edibles. It also sells the city's two most famous artisan breads: Poilâne and Poujauran.
