Cheese Glorious Cheese

According to a book I just purchased "101 Beautiful Towns in France" the region around the Allier River (Auvergne) where the chateau is, is known for its cheeses. Anyone who knows me knows that cheese is my "be all end all" of food - what a perfect fit. Not that France has bad cheese anywhere, but this just solidifies why I'm meant to be in Allier. Guess I need to start practicing my cheese-making techniques along with my French language lessons!
