Since our arrival, as we wander the Provencal markets, we have been watching and searching for one of our favorite French cheeses. Cheese here is very local and regional, and although we can find Swiss Emmentaler, for some reason we cannot find St. Andre, a triple-creme, brie-type cheese that is quite luscious and smooth. In researching it, I located what appears to be the critical French cheese website portal:

and learned that it is made in Normandy, near mythical Mount Saint Michel, where the monks live in remote isolation and the island containing the monastery can be reached only at low tide.
We will keep searching, and who knows what we can find.
