French Cheese.

Bonjour!
We have just returned from a week and a half trip to France (the trip of a lifetime, to say the least).  While I recover from the jetlag and continue to delve through the over 1000 photos we took (including many cheese, creamery/ fromagerie photos that I plan to share here), I wanted to first share with you my favorite cheese from the trip:  Saint-Marcellin.  

It's a soft cow's milk cheese with some bite to it, made in Lyon, the second stop on our trip.  Below are pictures of the packaged cheese in a fromagerie in Paris, and another one as it was served at our hotel cafe in Lyon.  I brought some back (thank God for vacuum sealing!) and enjoyed it last night -- it had more kick than I remember, perhaps because of the aging, but I wasn't going to argue.  So good.
