    • MEET a family of Espelette pepper producers and processors. The Atelier du Piment team welcomes you to share their passion, during a warm moment.


      VISIT our chilli field. A discovery trail retraces all the stages of production.

      PLAY as a family In the maze of plants, the little champions run towards the solution of the game that awaits them. The questions that pique your curiosity then find their answer in the heart of the field.

      TASTE a thin slice of farmhouse cheese which, combined with the jelly, will awaken your taste buds. We reveal the secrets of its preparations: pepper in all its forms, quality products!

      SPICE Now fine connoisseurs of the art of spicing up, you take home the key ingredient of its art of living from the Basque Country.

      Free visit and tasting all year round, 7 days a week, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in season and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. out of season.

      For groups visit and tasting by reservation.

    Very popular/touristic place to visit. Tour is about 30 minutes where the production and processing of the pepper is explained. Finishes with a tasting.
