      In the heart of the village of Espelette, famous for its iconic chili pepper, discover the Couteliers Basques boutique and their flagship creation: Bixia, the knife in the shape of an Espelette chili pepper !

    Stopped by the store to buy a beautiful Opinel on Thursday June 12th late morning, warm welcome, our dogs were welcomed in the store like kings by the charming young girl, the prices of the knives are affordable, we will probably return next year, in any case I recommend this store 👍👍👍👍👍👍

    I had a great experience at this store. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the team is simply great. Wise advice without ever being pushy and the quality of their artisanal knives is incredible, each one more beautiful than the last! I highly recommend this store if you are passing through Espelette.
