Maison Adam

It was on the occasion of the marriage of Louis XIV and the Infanta of Spain at Saint-Jean-de-Luz in 1660, that a few macaroons from the Maison Adam were placed on a tin tray. This delicate delicacy was so appreciated by the sovereign gourmet that it will make the success of Maison Adam.

We still continue to savor this macaroon, whose recipe has remained secret and has been passed down in the family for 13 generations. You will also find their generous Basque cakes and chocolates in the shops of this Luzienne and Biarritz institution.

For this reason, Maison Adam does not open the doors of its workshop but we recommend that you dive into their universe by pushing the doors of their shops where the prestigious macaroons are surrounded by paintings and works of art from the region. . The parent company is located at 6 Place Louis XIV in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. A shop full of history and memories since you can see at the back of the room, the family buffet and the table where the children used to have afternoon tea. In Biarritz, at 3 Place Clémenceau, macaroons, Basque cakes and chocolates are in a sumptuous setting, where the back staircase lets you see the ocean and the Biarritz lighthouse.

A sensory experience is offered to you, in their shop at 4 Place Louis XIV called Etxea (house, place of life in Basque). A concher and a roaster, two machines needed to make the praline, let out a delicious smell of roasted almonds from the shop.

Free entry and accessible to groups.
