Book a budget hotel in Meaux

After breakfast at the hotel, head out and treat yourself to a taste of Meaux’s culinary specialties. There’s no question about it: you simply can’t stay in Brie country without tasting a bit of the much-loved cheese. You can even visit the Fromagerie de Meaux Saint-Faron to discover the secrets of how it’s made and matured. Another local specialty to take home as a souvenir of the area is Pommery mustard, a wholegrain mustard that has been made to the same recipe for centuries. Finally, find a tearoom and sample a Pavé de Meaux, where delicious ganache hides a little raisin.

Vacations in Meaux are also a great opportunity to experience some of the city’s events. To kick off the year with a bit of fun and festive cheer — and warm up in the depths of winter — come to the Meaux Rire de Rire Festival in February. Or celebrate summer with the locals in June at the Festival de l’Eau. Sport, music and cultural entertainment turn the banks of the Marne into a fairground for the whole weekend. If you’re staying at the Première Classe hotel in Meaux on business in September, finish your summer on a musical note with the Muzik’Elles festival, showcasing a line-up of French singers.
