Cheese: the best friend of winter evenings!

Published on January 17, 2025 by Cécile Lacour

Winter is the season when we find excuses to curl up in a blanket and refuse to leave the couch. And what do we dream of in those moments? No, not exotic trips, new adventures, or resolutions (we already said goodbye to our gym membership). No, no. What we want is comfort, and because there is nothing more comforting thana cheese dish : we share with you our good addresses, in Brive-la-Gaillarde and its region… It’s up to us raclettes, Savoyard fondues, aligot, truffade..... Yum yum
