To see how St-Nectaire's famous cheese is made, take the scenic winding road 3km uphill from town to this multi-generational family dairy farm in the village of Farges. There's no charge to watch the milking of the cows (early morning or late afternoon) and the pressing of the cheese into moulds; whole cheeses cost €16 in the adjacent shop. Aficionados can also tour (in English upon request) the historic cave dwellings across the street where the cheese is aged.
