You step into a low-lit salon in the center of Paris and the first thing that greets you is scent: warm bread, ripening fromage, a faint trace of oak from decanted wine. Seats are arranged around a small counter; an English-speaking cheese expert moves through the table with small plates—six cheeses, four wines, fruit and bread—explaining textures and provenance as you taste.
