19 Apr 2011
Holidaymakers looking for some unusual experiences in France this year can visit a new museum paying tribute to a cheese that is often described as the smelliest in the world.
La Maison du Fromage takes visitors on a journey through the history and production of Munster cheese.
Located in Gunsbach, a rural village in the Munster valley in France's Alsace region, the museum includes a reconstruction of a cheese farm and an exploration of the production process from start to finish.
Guests can embark on guided tours ending with a visit to a maturation cave where they can sample the finished product, before heading to the attraction's restaurant, terrace and boutique.
Alsace is also home to the picturesque regional capital of Colmar, the Vosges mountains and a network of wine routes.
Travellers interested in exploring this part of northern France can catch flights to Basel Mulhouse airport, which are available from various UK airports with carriers including bmi, easyJet and British Airways.
