The Maison de la Tête de Moine is a historic annex of the Bellelay Abbey, with a history dating back 800 years. Some background knowledge about the cheese tradition is imparted on site, but the sculpture park is also absolutely worth seeing.

Always beautiful sculptures in front of the museum. Good cheese to buy!

A bit touristy. But you can stock up on cheese and have a coffee there.
