\n\nCheesemaker Pierre Brisson, who moved to Paris 15 years ago and also runs a cheesemaking school,<\/a> has decided to open a Mus\u00e9e du Fromage to showcase traditional cheesemaking processes.

\n\n\u2018I realised that lots of things were already organised in Paris to promote wine. Wine culture is developed in France,\u2019 Frisson said to euronews, \u2018Cheese is also a big thing, but there were no places where people could learn more deeply about the processes of making cheese.\u2019

\n\nFrisson believes that the cost of living crisis and young people\u2019s growing disheartened attitude towards modern working routines might encourage them back to the countryside. There\u2019s also high demand for traditionally made cheeses (France produces 246 varieties of cheese in total) but a lack of labour to produce it all. \u2018It\u2019s time to come back to a more tough life. But \u2026 it could be a very happy life,\u2019 he said, \u2018A good cheesemaker earns well in life.\u2019

\n\nYou Can Now Visit France\u2019s First-Ever Cheese Museum<\/a>
\nAt last, a destination where you can get cultured in more ways than one: France\u2019s very first cheese museum, the Mus\u00e9e du Fromage, is now open in the heart of Paris.

\n\nThe country is famous for its artisanal cheeses. Numerous cheese festivals are held every year, and it\u2019s not hard to stumble upon a rich selection of cheeses at one of France\u2019s popular open-air markets. According to some estimates, the French eat an average of more than 50 pounds of cheese annually.

\n\nBut until now, France hasn\u2019t had a museum dedicated to the history of the delicious dairy treat. When Pierre Brisson, the museum\u2019s founder, moved to Paris about 15 years ago, he found this oversight surprising. \u201cI realized that lots of things were already organized in Paris to promote wine. Wine culture is developed in France,\u201d Brisson tells Euronews\u2019 Amber Louise Bryce. \u201cCheese is also a big thing, but there were no places where people could learn more deeply about the processes of making cheese.\u201d

\n\nBrisson developed his passion for cheese as a child. Every Sunday after mass, he and his father would visit the local cheesemonger. \u201cI was at the height of the display and would look at all the marvelous cheeses in front of my eyes,\u201d he tells the Guardian\u2019s Kim Willsher. \u201cI became fascinated by where they came from and how they were made.\u201d Now, Brisson wants to pay it forward. \u201cMy dream is that in 20 years\u2019 time, someone will say they decided to become a cheesemaker after visiting the museum,\u201d he adds.
