No place is better for cheese lovers than France. It has almost 1000+ varieties of cheese that we can find here. It is not in dearth of the people who would love to be served with a platter of cheese. I think as a French learner, I have got an added advantage to be a French lover too. However, the fact is, we might not like every kind of cheese we eat, but there is yet more to discover in every nook and cranny. Being in Paris, and being a Cheese Lover you would love to be a cheese maker or a cheese connoisseur. It is addictive. People here take cheese with everything. Be it a beverage, be it lunch or dinner or even breakfast. Just a bite of cheese and you’re done. So, in my opinion, cheese lovers must be in Paris to be not just lovers, but cheese addicts too!
