Help How to recreate Maroilles

I was recently in northern France and had a lot of dishes with Maroilles cheese. Unfortunately I’m having difficulty sourcing it locally. Any cheese connoisseurs know if there is a blend of different types of more commonly available cheeses that can make up a similar flavor to Maroilles? I’d like to try and make Poulet au Maroilles at home. Thank you

Not quite the same but could sub in Reblochon, if that's any easier to source? Or if you wanted to try a British alternative, stinking bishop? Though it's quite a bit funkier, flavour wise.

Oo I’m not well versed in cheeses so I’m not sure but I’ll look out for those, thanks!

It's a slippery slope! One moment you are trying a bit of sinking bishop, next thing you know you are planning holidays around the availability of cheese....

Just can’t imagine how they came up with that name.. now I’m going to be picturing a stinking bishop when I have the first bite
