Raclette and DJ set, an unusual electro-cheese festival takes over a racecourse near Paris

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 even 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 festival combines electro DJ sets and raclette. 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, entertainment and a whole cheese banquet with a village of stands featuring melting specialities.
