"Known for stocking some of the best cheeses in Paris, Barthélémy is a classic fromagerie to load up on lactose. Of course, Ina endorses the beautiful and delightfully intimidating specialty shop during her recent trip, recommending a trio for the perfect cheese plate: something creamy, something with goat cheese, and something sharp. Samples from the cheesemongers are ample for shoppers, especially those who ask questions and demonstrate a knowledge of cheese. Barthélémy is a lovely source for snacks and cheese plates, but a stop on your last day in town lets travelers stock up on vacuum-sealed cheeses to transport home." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
