Camembert is a

France with a population of 170. The village is most noted for the early development of
camembert cheese by
Marie Harel in 1791 (
List of French cheeses ).

Camembert has been called “The largest small village in France.” This is because the area of the commune itself is out of proportion to the center of the village which consists of the Cheese Museum (in the shape of a Camembert cheese), the Town Hall (Mairie), the Church of St Anne, the
Ferme Président (a museum), Beamoncel (the house where Marie Harel, the creator of camembert cheese lived) and 3 other small houses. The rest of the commune is scattered over 10 km² (2,500 acres).
