In Paris and the Ile-de-France region, festivals come and go. Whether in the gardens of a historic château, in the middle of a funfair, on a huge ice rink or on a rollerdance track, unusual concepts keep us entertained all year round in the Paris region.
And even cheese aficionados can enjoy them. Co-organized by Jacques Fromage and La Mad Jacques, the Mad Jacques Fromage is a festival combining electro DJ sets and cheese. A gourmet and festive concept that regularly takes over XXL or unusual venues in the Paris region.
On the menu: a line-up of the finest cheeses, free entertainment, and a whole cheese banquet with a village of stands offering melting specialties, all in a friendly, good-natured, cool atmosphere, punctuated by surprises and mythical moments: contest for the longest aligot thread, karaoke from a 2CV, improvised caterpillar - there's no doubt that when appetite goes, everything goes.
After a special edition in November 2024, the Mad Jacques Fromage concept is set to delight us again in 2025: three dates are scheduled for this year. The next event is scheduled for April 5, 2025 at theHippodrome d'Enghien-les-Bains. The program for this future edition includes :
- 2 electro stages and a village stage with a village festival line-up
- A giant cheese barbecue with vegetarian and non-vegetarian specialities
- Free entertainment and tastings in the large cheese hall
- The longest aligoté thread competition with a crane
- A tyromancy stand to read the future in cheese.
