Époisses

Époisses is a small village in the Côte-d'Or department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. It is famous for its eponymous cheese.

• The Château d'Epoisses (pictured in this article) is well worth looking at.
• The Church of Saint-Symphorien d'Epoisses is a harmonious and somewhat austere construction, with a nice 15th-century pieta inside.

• Berthaut. A shop where you can buy the famous soumaintrain cheese. Their "flamiche" (kind of pizza with soumaintrain cheese) is also a must. 

• While in Époisses, try Époisses de Bourgogne cheese, which is strong and runny and made from raw cow's milk. In addition,it comes with some bread and Burgundy wine.
