1
The farm & the milk producer
2
The dairy & the cheese maker
3
The maturing cellar & the master affineur

The tour immerses you in a flood of sensations.

Smell the scent of hay in the stable, admire the flowery meadows, try the art of milking, listen to the sound of the probe ringing the wheel of comté and experience the magic of the milk turning into cheese !
