The Fauquets multiply their wishes
Les Fauquet multiplient leurs vœux
English version below the picture
Je reçus cette récemment cette photo d ' une amie . Elle a été prise en Allemagne dans un marché . Voyez tous ces paquets de " Fauquet " empilés !!! Ceci m ' a donné l 'idée de multiplication . Je vous envoie donc 12 fois au moins mes vœux de Noël ! Comptez les paquets …
Qu 'y a - t - il dans ces paquets ? un fromage fabriqué dans le nord de la France , très parfumé et très savoureux ., le Maroilles . Vous pouvez voir de petits échantillons dans le plat au dessus des boîtes . Sur cette photo le Maroilles est du "Fauquet " , nom de la maison de production fondée en 1925 . Je précise que nous avons le même nom mais il n 'y a aucun lien de parenté . Il y a beaucoup de familles différentes en France appelées Fauquet . Ce nom est fréquent .
Les gens aiment le" Fauquet " et fauquet et sa femme vous aiment et vous souhaitent un heureux Noël .
Photo taken by Anne - Marie Muller December 2004 GermanyI received recently this photo from a friend . This picture has been taken in an open market in …Germany . See all of those packets of " Fauquet " piled !! This gave me the idea of multiplication . So I send to you 12 times for the least my wishes for Christmas …!! Count the packets .
What is there in those packets ? a cheese produced in Northern France , very fragrant and tasty : the Maroilles . You can see small samples above the boxes in a plate . On this photo the Maroilles is labelled " Fauquet " , name of the factory founded in 1925 . I specify we have the same name but we are not in any way related . In France there are many different families called Fauquet . This name is frequent..
People love the " Fauquet " and fauquet and his wife love you and wish you a happy Christmas .

Happy Christmas to you too!!!
Happy, happy Christmas!
Blessed Yule to you my friend - and I love all the boxes of Fauquets!! Very fun - Merry Christmas!!
How fun! Fauquet cheeses! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Michel!
I received your card yesterday, and I appreciate it so much. I was so delighted to see it! And thank you for the wonderful things that you said.
I think that it is interesting that your name is common in France. How do you pronounce by the way? I fear that I have probably been butchering it when I try to say it.
I hope that this holiday season goes extremely well for you and your family. You deserve the best by far! Happy Holidays, my friend. May God bless you forever and always.
thank you! abundant fragrant and tasty holiday wishes back at you!
Joyeux Noel, Fauquet family!!!!!
Yes, Michel, that was me in red 
Smith is a common name here and Burke is in a part of Ireland ( in fact Co. Mayo is called Burke Counrty
) Thank you for the kind wishes and card. May you,Janine and the family have a blessed and holy Christmas. 
Marie
ah, magnifique! J'envoie mes voeux a vous et votre famille, Michel!
What a great photo
. I hope that cheese is as lovely as the man called Fauquet 
. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas
I love cheese, yummy yum yum!! I wish I could have some Fauquet Cheese
Of course this was a long time ago....
When we came to the US, when I was a little girl, my gramma used to send a letter to "Johan de Leeuw, USA" nothing else on the envelope... they would find my family in Maryland. There were not a lot of de Leeuw's in USA. In Holland there are hundreds
I wish you a very lovely, Joyous Christmas and very best wishes for the New Year
I really enjoy reading your blog.

Un felice Natale Michel, a te e Janine. redpoppy1
WOW you're a food. Like those snacks called Filipinos.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU!
Joyeaux Noel / Happy Christmas May this new year be the start of better times for this struggling world.
Happy Christmas to you too!
Je connais le Maroilles, le Brie, le Camembert, le Roquefort et maints autres fromages dont le nom m'échappe. Ca donne l'eau à la bouche. Quelle façcon originale de souhaiter de bonnes fêtes. Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année à Janine et à toi, Michel. Santé et prospérité. Le marché de Noël à Strasbourg est une pure merveille.
J'espère que rien ne subsiste des dégâts de la tempète.
Merci de ton amitié continues, Michel.

It is produced not far from Belgie but I never knew about this cheese, there us already something knew to learn
In Bruxelles there is also a very old "quartier" called " the Marolles" I think it was a abbey .
Merry Christmas to the Fauquet.

Thanks, Michel
That is an interesting coincidence. It's too bad you don't own shares in the company! Ha ha!
Wishing you all the best for the holidays!
Heureux Noel a vous aussi

What a fantastic post!
You are indeed very famous with this cheese being named after you, Michel! 
I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas. 
Congrats on being first to comment on my post yesterday!
When I saw the name Fauquet i thought that is why he went away he was making cheese but I see differently .I would have thought the name Fauquet would be uncommon. don't tell me it is like Brown or Smith in English places. Have a lovely time the two of you with your Children or Grandchildren maybe ,Love Marjie
Ha, fromage Fauquet! C'est magnifique, j'en suis sûre. Joyeux Noël!

Thanks for visiting my website and leaving a message in my guestbook. I haven't updated that site in a long time. Jake, who is now 1 1/2, isn't even on it. Maybe I should work on it a little!
Merry Christmas dear friend..

Hi!
For those of you who don't know: An earthquake struck Sumatra on Sunday morning registering 9.0 and causing a tidal wave that devastated most of the countries in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka is the worst hit with 12,000 presumed dead and still counting and two million at least displaced.

Hi Michel!
At first I thought someone had sent you all that cheese and wondered how you were going to eat so much of it. But on reading it again, I see that it's at a market & not in your kitchen. I wonder if the cheese is as sweet and mellow as yourself?
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2005 to come.
We LOVE cheese! And we love the Fauquets, also!
And now that the Holy Season is passed .... Wishing you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! May it be filled with all the Peace of Christmas - every day!
Eating Camembert now, and listening to Debussy!!!
That's pretty cool! I hope you both had a very very wonderful Christmas.
Très intéressant.
It's a wonderful discovery, isn't it? How lovely your name is associated with this well-known cheese
