    CNN — 

    In travel news this week: A museum in France gets cheesy, a global IT meltdown snarls travel and a look at another one of America’s best towns to visit in 2024.

    Homage to fromage

    Museums are a highlight of any visit to Paris: The Louvre! The d’Orsay! The Pompidou! The Fromage! Oui – joining the ranks of Paris museums is one devoted to glorious delights of cheese.

     
     

    Just ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics that start on Friday, the Musée du Fromage is now open to fans of the coagulated curd of milk. Visitors will be able to learn about regional varieties of cheese, how different types of cheeses are made and of course indulge in tastings. There’s also a souvenir store for a delicious after-visit reminder.

    The museum is located at 39 rue Saint-Louis en l’Île, 75004. That’s very close to Notre Dame (see video) so visitors to the cheese museum can easily stop by the famed cathedral to see the progress of its restoration after its devastating fire five years ago. Entry to the museum is €20 (about $21.75 US) for adults and children 5-11 visit for half price. More on ticketing here.
