The Maison d’affinage Maurice Dufour’s land is an enchanting place that has inspired numerous artists. Some art has even been dedicated to depicting a few of the Migneron family cheeses. That was the case with Guy Paquet’s piece entitled Un ciel de Charlevoix, which he painted in 2000 and is linked to the Le Ciel de Charlevoix cheese.
Le Ciel de Charlevoix is available from the cheese maker, at specialty cheese shops, as well as in some supermarkets.
