[FR] Chaque premier weekend d'octobre, le brie est en fête dans la ville de Melun. Le brie est un fromage à base de lait de vache, cru, à pâte molle à croûte fleurie, d'un poids moyen de 1,5 kg pour 27 cm de diamètre. Il est moins grand que le Brie de Meaux mais plus fort en saveur et en odeur, avec un goût légèrement salé. Le brie de Melun bénéficie d'une appellation d'origine contrôlée depuis 1980.

La fête se déroule un peu partout dans la ville. A l'hôtel de ville, vous trouverez la confrérie du brie de Melun et aussi des vaches (2 en général) dans le parc. Plusieurs stands sont montés dans les rues et sur les places comme celle de St Jean. Ce jour, sont organisés des concours, des remises de prix ainsi qu'un grand défilé de toute les confréries dans les rues de la ville.
