The 2010 Tour de France bike race begins on Saturday, July 3rd. We will be celebrating by featuring special pricing on a selection of cheeses inspired by the towns, villages and countryside along the race route. 

This year’s Tour is another cheese-lover’s route through paradise. It begins, for the first time since 1954, in a country other than France-- the Netherlands.  It winds through Belgium, through the French alps, Provence, Gascony, and Bordeaux, finishing as usual in the Ile-de-France’s Paris. Please see specific details and tasting notes for the cheeses below. Prices will be good until we run out, or through July 25th when the race ends.

Please note:  selections on the website do not represent the full range of cheeses available in the store-- if you're looking for something you don't see here, by all means ask!
