As well as local cheeses, producers head in from other parts of France to allow tourists and French natives to sample their wares.

Competitions are held to see who can eat the most in the least amount of time as well as other cheese-related activities.

Livarot even has a cheese named after it - one of the oldest cheeses in Normandy. It is surrounded by bands of rush leaves that prevent it collapsing during maturing.
