If you find yourself walking down rue Thiers in the heart of Boulogne-sur-mer (northern France) and don’t happen to see Philippe Olivier’s famous cheese shop, you will surely smell it. I’m not gonna lie: it stinks, and we were just there yesterday so imagine what summer smells like!

Philippe Olivier knows cheese and his family has been in business for 101 years, 4 generations of fromagers.

The list of awards they’ve won cannot fit on the longest scroll in France. it’s a true cheese lover’s paradise and a must visit when in the area.

We left with 10 pounds of cheese.

My mother loves that super old Hollande cheese shown in the last photo – personally, I hate it. I should really take a day trip to Boulogne and visit that cheese shop.

Phillippi’s shop is featured on the Rick Steve’s Tour Video in the USA. What an amazing, and delicious looking shop it is!! So glad to find it, after a little google searching. He needs to have his own website !! We will order through the mail for now…How rare and interesting his cheeses are!! Happy eating!!:)
