Site-story:
A long, long time ago in Normandy, I was born in Rouen, the former capital
state of that beautiful duchy. I grew up there and took advantages of that
wonderful country (a bit rainy, to be honest!). Nevertheless 17 years later,
I had to leave my beloved mother country to study in Lyon.
After six years of hard work, I also left that town to work in a research
lab in Lausanne (Switzerland) in front of the Leman Lake. There, my colleagues
(Computer scientists) laughted at my habit to glorify "my" Normandy.
One even suggested for fun, to create a web site dedicated to the camembert
cheese... Everybody laugthed (I did too) but after a short period for some
unknown reason, I began to work on it! It was not the noblest cause to defend
but it wasn't an uninteresting one... The site was first published in december
1996.
One year later, I had to leave Switzerland, and I wanted the camembert web site to go on (Vanity :-) ). For that reason these pages are hosted since december 1997on Pays de Camembert - Camembert Country site.
At the end of that beautiful history, the author would like to thank all the web-surfers that have appreciated his work and that send him lots of nice comments or new recipes and for the ones that didn't send critics! The enthousiam is still there and I hope I will be able to go on improving this site (That's rather easy! :-) ).
In 2002, it became impossible to ignore the fact that the CWP were a little too old-fashioned. Therefore I have decided to rebuild a new site that is intended to please you...
May the Camembert be with you!
