Camembert is a small village located in the Orne department of the Normandy region in France. The village is famous for being the birthplace of the popular French cheese, Camembert. The cheese is known for its soft and creamy texture and is made from cow's milk.

Camembert cheese was first made in the late 18th century by a woman named Marie Harel, who was a local farmer. Legend has it that Harel received the recipe from a priest who was fleeing from the French Revolution. The cheese quickly became popular in the region and beyond, and it is now enjoyed all over the world.

Today, visitors to Camembert can visit the local dairy museum to learn more about the history of the cheese and how it is made. There are also several cheese shops in the village where visitors can purchase Camembert and other local cheeses.
