    • Laia Chocolate Factory: an artisanal treasure in the heart of the Basque Country


      As the custodian of a true chocolate tradition in the inland Basque Country, Chocolaterie Laia stands out as one of the last artisanal chocolate makers to master the entire manufacturing process, from the cocoa bean to the finished product. This "Bean-to-Bar" approach guarantees exceptional quality and authentic flavors.


      A taste journey around the world

      Chocolaterie Laia carefully selects the finest cocoa beans from exceptional terroirs in Central America, South America and Africa. Each origin brings its unique aromatic notes, offering a palette of varied and surprising flavors.


      A warm boutique in the heart of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

      It is in the heart of the picturesque village of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, an emblematic stopover on the road to Santiago de Compostela, that Chocolaterie Laia has chosen to set up its third boutique. This enchanting setting invites you to discover the chocolate factory's artisanal products: chocolate bars of different vintages, chocolate candies with various flavors, gourmet spreads, and many other delights.


      A gourmet and friendly break

      The Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port shop also offers a tasting area where you can enjoy a creamy hot chocolate. You can also sit on the pleasant, quiet terrace to enjoy a refreshing artisanal ice cream, made from milk from local producers.
