Laurent Dubois

Fine cheese good services with a staff that is friendly, speaks English and ready to teach, or listen. Any of the chains have the exact same perfect service.

Superb shop, excellent staff and recommendation. First stop when I come to Paris again. The wine shop next door was also good. Got the Demi Camembert which I was told to pair with the baguette. And sampled a few cheeses before settling for a goat cheese bonde de gatine. It was overall a very good experience gastronomique!

Paris isn’t just about the site seeing. It’s about the food tasting and just being amazed by the variety of things around. If you come to Paris and didn’t allot time or money to food, you have failed. You have seen only maybe a ¹⁄₁₀ of what you should be experiencing in the city of lights.
I was looking for a cheese shop, or fromager, that would give me the ultimate experience for cheeses. I searched by google, by Unilocal and by a host of other methods and they all pointed me to Laurent Dubois. An unassuming little store situated right outside the metro stop, this fromager has all the cheese you can think of plus more. I know pretty much only the cheese that are available to me in the US which is like 2 kinds so I really needed a lesson in what cheeses to get. Don’t speak French? No problem. Just tell the what you are looking for and they can help you out. But if you do speak French, you’ll be an advantage as they describe every little detail to you.
It’s not even just the number of cheeses but it’s the way that they are displayed; like little museum pieces not to be disturbed by the harsh light. They weren’t terribly busy but they did have a few tourists coming through obviously found the same sources that I did. What’s great is exactly what other Unilocalers have mentioned previously and that is they are located next to a boulangerie (bakery) so you can pick up fresh bread to go with it.
So anyways, I picked up 4 cheeses. 3 I told them to pick and 1 was the Roquefort which was recommended multiple times here by Unilocalers. Beware of the Roquefort puissant because it is STRONG as the name implies. Absolutely delicious from all different aspects but pungent in smell and taste. It will make your entire hotel room smell. But ohh the taste. You have to spread it on bread and not too generously because you’ll overwhelm your taste buds. If you’re not as keen on the strong stuff, they have a lighter version of the Roquefort.
We also got a camembert which was one of the most delightfully lightest camembert’s I have ever tasted. We were also recommended the perladon fermier and the compte which I haven’t tried yet but am told are «must trys.» Even if you’re not big into cheeses, this is a place to visit just to marvel at all the different things here. They also can vacuum seal your cheeses to help improve the chance that you can take it through customs. You’ll have better luck with the hard cheeses than the soft/​liquid ones. Go here at the beginning of your trip so that you can enjoy it as snacks for the rest of the week!

This place is unbelievable. You can come in here with a specific cheese in mind or come with an open mind and let a staff member guide you. I can’t comment on how English-​friendly they are. My best experience was coming here before leaving France after a long stay and asking for two quintessentially French, impossible-​to-​get-​in-​America cheeses and boy, did they deliver. They even vacuum sealed the (extremely pungent) cheeses for me. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things cheese.

I was at the location near Saint Paul (in the Marais). Amazing quality. Polite and professional consultation about the cheeses offered. Reasonable prices. Very photogenic. Loved it.

Amazing cheese shop. Best cheese I have ever had. Get the smelly cheese. Just do it! And do NOT buy your baguettes next door. Do your self a favor and walk a few blocks down to a real boulangerie for a real baguette and not someone frozen thing.
My boyfriend and I picked some cheeses, a bottle of wine and some meats and it was probably the cheapest and best meal we had while in Paris.
I wish we had that type of freshness here in the U.S.

If you like cheese, this place is for you. Right near Notre Dame and the amazing Shakespeare & Co bookstore, Laurent Dubois is a delight to your senses (you’ll smell it from a block away). The girl working did not speak English (not that I expected her to), but was very helpful anyway. I named the meal, and she pointed me in the right direction to a matching cheese. Their prices are great too. I walked away with so many types of cheese (a few pounds!) for a lot less than I expected (especially for Paris prices). The shop will VACUUM PACK your items so they stay fresh and transport well. Also, there’s a bakery right next door to the shop (fresh bread with your cheese? Yes please). Would definitely stop here again if I ever come back to Paris.

cher. mais bon forcément.
Attention quand même qu’ils né se trompent pas dans les prix, vérifiez sur le ticket. Quand j’y suis allé, heureusement que j’étais attentif, il y avait une erreur non négligeable

Laurent Dubois a obtenu le titre de «meilleur ouvrier de France». Il possède maintenant plusieurs fromageries à Paris.
Ce royaume de la fromagerie est plutôt spacieuse. Il propose du fromage haut de gamme qui suivent les rythmes de saisons mais aussi des fromages d’exception que l’on né trouve nulle part ailleurs comme le Bleu de Termignon.
Perso, je préfère les fromages secs comme le gouda vieux ou les fromages de brebis. La plupart sont affinés sur place, c’est-à-dire dans des caves d’affinages.

Best cheese in France! A wide selection of cheeses and they will vacuum seal for you. Very friendly and helpful in selecting cheeses. You can by Bordier Butter here too. Laurent surely is a master craftsman of cheese

Great, award-​winning cheese shop! It’s right next to a bakery (lots of people would buy a baguette and stuff their nose into it, smelling it walking away) and a meat shop so it’s really a one-​stop eating area! Plus they have a farmer’s market in front so it’s great to check out.
We got two cheeses here, one hard (Comte 2013 Fruitiere des Majors) and one soft (Fougerus). The hard cheese tasted like a fruity parmesan, and the soft cheese had a very mild, woodsy flavor– very good. We tried a third which we really liked but didn’t buy (Sable de Wissant). Getting any of these would be a good choice.
Most of the hard cheeses they can cut as small as you want, while the soft cheeses you have to get the entire wheel or half a wheel.
Friendly service, and they have tons of samples so you can make a good decision!

We stayed at the Abbatial Saint Germain hotel which was luckily only a few blocks away from this Fromagerie. We stopped by 2 or 3 times to pick up different kinds of cheeses to accompany some charcuterie which we got next door (so convenient!) and a baguette just a block away from La Parisienne. They offer some samples of different cheeses and service was great! Great quality & great tasting cheeses.

My fiancé and I have been in Paris for a week and my only regret is that we didn’t try this shop sooner. We leave tomorrow and will be stopping back here to stock up before heading out to Reims. According to reviews on TripAdvisor, this shop will vacuum pack your selections so you can transport them home!
I’m an avid, if amateur cheese lover. I can’t tell you the origin of the two cheeses we had, one hard and one soft. However the first class service will help you find whatever cheese would suit your taste or your occasion. We were looking for two selections for a lunch picnic in the Luxembourg gardens, we told the associate what we’d be doing and when and he selected two amazing cheeses for us. They were perfect and reasonably priced, we ended up spending 13 € with the dried figs (also highly recommended)!
Don’t miss this market or this shop if you’re visiting Paris!

The wife and I bought tickets through Viator for a Paris food walking tour through the Latin Quarter on a Friday morning. Our second stop on our tour took us to Fromagerie Laurent Dubois on Bd Saint-​Germain across next to the Marché Maubert food market (which, unfortunately, is only open on Tues, Thurs, and Sat). Laurent Dubois is an award-​winning cheesemonger having been awarded the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France by the French government recognizing him for his unique skill in his craft. Who knew there was even an award for that? While Fromagerie Laurent Dubois didn’t make the cheeses it sold, it curated its selection of artisanal cheeses with great care based on its producers. The shop was small, but its selection of French-​made cheeses was comprehensive and high quality. No processed cheese slices here! We purchased a cross-​section of cow, sheep, and goat milk cheeses (all unpasteurized), some soft and creamy, some semi-​firm, and some moldy, but all delicious. Prices were reasonable and perhaps cheaper than what you’d pay for a similar cheese (using pasteurized milk) in the States. Unfortunately, I don’t remember all of the names of the producers (not that it would do any good since none of them can be found in the U.S.) and varieties of cheeses we got. I love cheese. Fromagerie Laurent Dubois was a cheese-​lovers paradise!

Sad that your Paris adventure is over? Not to worry Fromagerie Laurent Dubois will solve that! When I visited my daughter in Paris I bought some firm cheese from their shop in the 5eme and had it packed «sous vide» where they wrap it in cheese paper and then vacuum pack it in a special machine. Back home more than a year later it was absolutely perfect and every bite brought back Paris!
Mille mercis Fromagerie Laurent Dubois!

Great selection of cheeses. Helpful staff. Also conveniently located next door to a wine shop and a boulangerie. Perfect for picnic supplies!

Fromager exceptionnel, c’est tellement bon que je vois mal comment ça pourrait être mieux et pourquoi ça vaudrait le coup de tester ailleurs ! La sélection est extra, pas mal de choses très rares qui tournent, je suis par exemple fan du Darley, un fromage de vache à pâte lavée breton très fort mais délicieux.
Je suis fan absolu du Brillat-​Savarin qui est une tuerie incontestable, en général un grand succès auprès des personnes à qui je fais goûter; enfin même les pâtes dures que j’aime d’habitude moins sont vraiment parfaites et toujours impeccables.
Tout cela à un prix mais ça reste un luxe abordable, d’autant plus que ce n’est pas très bon pour la ligne, donc il vaut mieux en prendre moins et du meilleur !

We stumbled upon this fromagerie after touring Notre Dame. It was excellent. Very courteous staff. Some speak English and try to help you select cheeses based on your taste and what you are planning for dinner that night. We went a second time as they also vacuum pack the cheeses, to buy some to take back home since we do not have raw milk fresh cheeses here in the states (at least not for legal sale). The selection is astonishing and it goes with the price. Both times we pent over € 40. It actually is not that bad since you get several meals out of the purchase or I presume it would much less if you are just buying for a picnic. There is a wonderful bakery store within a 3 minute walk (I think it is called Kaiser), don’t miss it to buy a warm baguette to eat with your cheeses or a delicious pastries

Laurent Dubois takes cheese shopping to a whole new level. I understand why this is a Meilleur Ouvrier de France (winner of a competition for the best craftsmen of France). Staff is professional, knowledgeable, helpful. The gentleman who helped us gave us excellent advice on which cheeses to match with our food for a picnic. We got some Crottin and some Comte. The cheese was excellent. And reasonably priced.
I wish I lived in Paris so that I could buy all my cheese from Laurent Dubois.
I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.

Say Cheeeesssseeeeee!
Most people know Europe is known for their cheese! I don’t know what they do to the cheese to get it to taste so delicious but I LOVE it! I’ve always known I was part rat because I love cheese so much but to walk into a shop and that is all they sell is an AMAZING feeling!
It’s not just your typical cheese. In fact you can forget anything typical and think more out the box. The really cool thing is they let you taste the cheese before you buy so you sort of know what you’re getting. This I truly liked. But I think it is bad manners to just go in to taste the cheese and not buy anything. That goes for anywhere unless they are offering a sample.
So I tried a hard cheese to go with my prosciutto I bought earlier and found one I liked. They wrapped it up for me so nice and nest and I was on my way!
The shops like most everything in Paris is not big but packs a punch! When you seen one fromagerie (cheese shop) you’ve seen them all. They are all pretty much the same and operate the same. The only difference is the neighborhood and the person running the shop.
Everyone is always super nice and appreciate you trying to use some French no matter how you butcher it up! This one was very near where I stayed so I went to it quite often!
…cause there are no cat’s in America and the streets are paved with cheese… part of a song from American Tale movie.
In French…
Dites Cheeeesssseeeeee !
Plupart des gens savent que l’Europe est connu pour son fromage ! Je né sais pas ce qu’ils font pour le fromage pour qu’il puisse goûter si délicieux, mais je l’aime ! J’ai toujours su que j’étais partie rat parce que j’aime beaucoup de fromage, mais marcher dans un magasin et c’est tout ce qu’ils vendent c’est une sensation incroyable !
Il n’est pas seulement votre fromage typique. En fait, vous pouvez oublier quelque chose de typique et de réfléchir davantage sur la boîte. La chose vraiment cool, c’est qu’ils vous permettent de déguster le fromage avant de l’acheter pour que vous sachiez sorte de ce que vous obtenez. Ce que j’ai vraiment aimé. Mais je pense que c’est des mauvaises manières d’aller simplement déguster le fromage et né rien acheter. Cela vaut pour n’importe où, à moins qu’ils offrent un échantillon.
Alors j’ai essayé un fromage à pâte dure pour aller avec mon jambon, j’ai acheté plus tôt et trouvé un que j’ai aimé. Ils ont enveloppé pour moi tellement agréable et nichent et j’étais sur mon chemin !
Les magasins comme la plupart tout à Paris n’est pas grand, mais a du punch ! Quand tu as vu une fromagerie (fromagerie) vous avez vus tous. Ils sont tous à peu près identiques et fonctionnent de la même. La seule différence est le quartier et la personne qui exécute la boutique.
Tout le monde est toujours super sympa et vous essayez d’utiliser certains français apprécier n’importe comment vous Boucher il vers le haut ! Celui-​ci était très près où je suis resté alors je suis allé à lui assez souvent !
. .cause il n’y a aucun chat en Amérique et dans les rues né sont pavées de fromage… fait partie d’une chanson du film de l’histoire américaine.

Paris has a number of very famous cheese shops, but I reckon that this relatively small shop in the Place Maubert stands up to the very best. This fromagerie is especially known for its cantal «entre-​deux,» which stands between young and aged cantal. My attitude in this store has always been to bend to the recommendations of the staff and not insist on buying cheese from any narrowly-​defined category.

Il y a peu de choses dans la vie qui méritent réellement qu’on s’y attaché: les chats, la synthpop, et le fromage.
Laurent Dubois n’a pas de chat dans sa boutique, ni de mèches ou encore de synthétiseurs. Il est donc fromager, affineur, et accessoirement a été MOF en 2000. Si tu aimes le fromage, prépare toi à repartir avec un bras en moins de la boutique, puisque les étalages sont plus affriolants les uns que les autres et l’odeur, hummmm!, excite les papilles et laisse supposer des plaisirs fromagers interdits au moins de 18 ans.
Plus prosaïquement, les fromages de vache à pâte persillée (du stilton!) et à pâte cuite sont excellents, j’ai par contre trouvé les chèvres un peu en retrait en termes de goût et d’affinage (mais je suis compliqué). Maintenant, honnêtement, je n’ai pas testé assez de fromagers en région parisienne pour vraiment faire une comparaison systèmique, mais j’ai été globalement plutôt très satisfait de mon expérience! Et surtout, c’est pas loin de chez moi!

Needed to get some cheese for my buddy back home, and I finally stumbled upon this after coming out of Patrick Roger.
Super friendly here and some of the staff speaks English. They will ask you what you want and how much of it you want. I was able to get a slice of Brie from a huge chunk of it and some Camembert. They will explain what the differences are in some of the cheeses.
A quick and easy buy and you’re on your way.

This place is a cheese lovers heaven. We tried three cheeses from this place and they were just divine.
An artisan Roquefort, a small production brie and a runny goats cheese that was out of this world.
Would happily go back here anytime. There is a wonderful bakery next door and an excellent wine shop on the other side. Bread, cheese and wine in Paris at reasonable prices. What more can one want ?? ;-))

Fromager, meilleur ouvrier de France, des fromages absolument divins…

J’y suis retournée pleine d’admiration pour le travail de cet artisant, mais entre temps ma culture des affinages s’est justement un peu étoffé et maintenant la Caro elle sait ce qu’elle aime et désolée mais les affinages signés Dubois n’ont plus d’effets sur moi… trop fort, ou bien des pâtes friables. Bref, là bas je pencherais plus pour les spécialités type Stylton, ou même Irish. Le côté français (vu les prix) n’est pas sa valeur ajouté.

C’est une superbe boutique que cette Fromagerie de Laurent Dubois
Les fromages sont vraiment extras, notamment le comté millésimé: incroyable
Cependant attention à l’addition… c’est vraiment le haut du panier.

der perfekte käseladen für
der nähe von notre dame gelegen ist das ein wahres käseparadies und das schöné der käse wird extra für den transport vakuumverpackt. perfekt!!! preise sind okay. ein käsestück liegt bei 5−7EUR und der schnittkäse liegt bei ca 37EUR/​kg… hab zwei schöné fast zerlaufende schimmelkäsestücken für 11EUR bekommen. :-)

Une excellente fromagerie
Détenant le titre de «meilleur ouvrier de France», Laurent Dubois vous offre le meilleur du fromage. Il faut dire que, après avoir fait près de 4 fromageries à Paris, il n’y a que chez lui que j’ai pu trouvé l’exceptionnel Comté affiné 36 mois ! Et c’est un délice, rien à voir avec le comté affiné 4 mois (!) vendu en grande surface. En plus, l’accueil est souriant et agréable et les conseils sont avisés. Les prix se justifient par la qualité des fromages proposés.

Deuxième adresse de Laurent Dubois, Meilleur ouvrier de France. Je né sais pas quand il a repris cette fromagerie (qui était déjà bonne avant), mais leurs fromages sont très bons. J’y suis allé en fin de marché ce matin, après deux américaines. Les conseils et le sourire de la vendeuse n’étaient pas très présents. Fatigue?
Les fromages sont impeccables et goûteux. Je reproche simplement que tout est prédécoupé, et qu’on né peut pas trop demander à la coupe son fromage. C’est peut-​être aussi le cas pour le début des vacances? De l’été? Donc quatre étoiles (voire cinq) pour le fromage, mais deux pour le service. Moyenne trois.
