Recenter Map To This Location

The attractive old town of Livarot is home of the cheese that bears the same name. On the edge of town (driving in the direction of Caen), it is worth a stop to see the Musée du Fromage in the basement of one of the town’s grand old homes. Here you watch a video on the production of Livarot, Pont l’Évêque, and Camembert cheeses, and tour a replica of an old dairy farm with its traditional cheese-making shop and old-fashioned dairy.
