About Camembert House
La Maison du Camembert occupies a restored 18th-century Normandy farmhouse in the village where France's most famous cheese was born. The museum traces Camembert's origins through exhibits on traditional farm production and its evolution into modern manufacturing, featuring an extensive collection of cheese labels from around the world. Visitors follow an audio-guided tour telling the story of Marie Harel, the farmer credited with creating Camembert in 1791.
