Cheese lovers, this is the weekend for you! The very famous Brie de Meaux is entitled to the 4th edition of its"Brie Happy" festival, in Seine-et-Marne, on October 12 and 13, 2024. In the heart of the Episcopal city, rediscover this ancestral cheese with the inimitable taste for which the town is famous, thanks to a host of free culinary events and tastings, hosted by chefs and restaurateurs. Meet the people who make it, enjoy a 100% local market and try to beat an exceptional challenge, to celebrate Brie!
This Saturday, October 12, at midday, come and take part in the longest lichette of Brie de Meaux AOP, with a world record of 100.28m to surpass! At the end of the challenge, the lichette will be cut up and offered to the public for a grand tasting... yum! In the evening, don't miss Brie Happy Night, a gala evening in honor of the Confrérie du Brie de Meaux, where you can dance the night away!
The following day, attend the Concours National du Brie de Meaux, an opportunity to meet the region's finest producers, affineurs and artisans. A new feature is a culinary show where you can discover how to make a 200m-long Brie sausage from potatoes and Brie, of course! And of course, you won't want to leave without a piece of cheese to take home, buy on site or take part in a cheese auction!
Throughout the weekend, Meaux's retailers and restaurateurs will be offering events, demonstrations and culinary workshops for the whole family. For the little ones, there's even an educational mini-farm where you can get up close and personal with the animals!
