The Maison de la Tête de Moine is a museum, an old-fashioned cheese dairy, a cafe and a store selling local specialities.
"Several of us had booked a guided tour of the Tête de Moine Cheese Museum and the Abbey Church followed by an aperitif. We set off on foot from Les Ecorcheresses and kept up a good pace until we finally reached Bellelay. I really enjoyed the tour of the Cheese Museum and the Abbey Church. We learned that it was the monks who invented the Tête de Moine cheese! The explanations of the farming methods from bygone days to the present were well presented. This marvelous and unique day gave us a great insight in the history of this famous cheese and Bellelay, its place of origin."
