I'm a cheese lover and have often fantasized of going to the home of good cheese

[FrereJaques]

My friend has just came back from france and told me of the deep underground basements which spiral underneath the city of paris and houses hundreds of thousands of different cheeses of the highest quality due to the perfect conditions unseen anywhere else on earth and I just wondered Have any of you been to the "Le métro chambre de la mille mortelles fromages" in paris near the Champs-Élysées in paris and if so what was your experience like there?

can't see anything here i'm afraid. surely this would mention it?

[FrereJaques]

I'm not sure crisgal but that certainly looks like a place where cheese could secretly ferment untouched and unseen by human eyes.

[ethandron]

if you google it, something comes up about a family called Paris who make cheese in America and keep it underground, no mention of Paris, France...

[Invictas]

So secretive it doesn't exist,and is run by trolls!

[mrs_overall]

Be careful Invictas - too much cheese will give you the runs again!

[sara3]

I have to admit, I could smell cheese outside the hotel I stayed at in Paris.

;o)

[Invictas]

Ooh wicked Mrs O,
*Takes laptop into loo*

[mrs_overall]

sara - that could have been your feet after a walk around paris

[FrereJaques]

Can I have a link please ethandron. I'm not sure what the family name was invictus but I'm pretty sure it wasn't run by the "trollé" family, I think it was something a bit more french sounding if that makes any sense "Trollé" If I remember rightly is more a southern france name as it's deeply ingrained with a spanish heritage if I'm right.

J'avais Googled le story et je think le story est une myth.

How would it:~
"where cheese could secretly ferment untouched and unseen by human eyes."
If it's not being seen by humans when would they know it's ready,I suppose the cheese becomes dead and is left there to rot.LOL
But not as much rot as in your question!

[Barmaid]

Sara, votre francais est tres mal - just like mine!!!

Loving this thread though - what sort of mind thinks of a secret cheesy tunnel in France?!

[mrs_overall]

The Trolle family?

PMSL!

[Barmaid]

Sorry, not Sara, Mrs O!!!

[crisgal]

oh, have just read frere's last post. Now i know my jambe's being pulled!

[FrereJaques]

Thank you so much crisgal these sentences in your link "People say that the land beneath Paris is like Swiss cheese. Outside the frequented subway, most tourists and residents spend their lives aware of only the Paris aboveground. But beneath the thin slice of city on the crust is a vast city below known only to a few."

and

"Visitors are welcome in select areas of the catacombs, but because of its massive size, most of it remains forgotten. Or at least, forgotten to public."

Clearly point to the possibility of this place existing.

Invictus please whether you believe it or not there's n need to hit below the belt now is there?

[crisgal]

oh well, you've made us chuckle brother john! Not being able to speak any french, yet understand the origins of french surnames?
wink wink!

[Dris]

[FrereJaques]

Crisgal it was just something I seen on the History Channel about rich influential families in france
