    • It was in 1660 that Louis XIV gave Maison Adam its fame by tasting a few macaroons during his wedding in Saint-Jean-de-Luz with the Infanta of Spain. Since that day, the same shop at 6 Rue de la République has sold the same macaroons that the king had the opportunity to taste as well as other pastries from the region.

      In their shops, you will of course find the real Saint-Jean-de-Luz macaroons, whose recipe has been held by Maison Adam since 1660 and has been passed down for 13 generations. These macaroons are made with almonds, egg white and sugar. Don't ask for more, the recipe has been secret for over 3 centuries.

      The Basque cakesfrom Maison Adam are made and displayed every morning, whether with cream, cherry, chocolate or apricot-walnut. They are all generously filled. They are available in large format or individually for those who do not prefer to share.

      Do you know the soft cakes from Maison Adam? If you are looking for a delicious cake that everyone will love, look no further! You will find them in individual formats with lemon, orange, pistachio, hazelnut or chocolate and in a large cake to share with pistachio, orange or chocolate.

    Where has the prestige of this brand gone?? For an Easter Sunday, the window is ordinary, fake cakes and very few Easter chocolates. Inside no better, cold welcome, no tasting offered. Despite everything, we still bought macaroons and individual Basque cakes. We have just tasted them and this is the second disappointment!! Basque cakes are too sweet, almost non-existent and frozen cream, unheard of!! We have been coming for years and this is the first time this has happened!!

    Unfortunately notoriety means that we forget the relational aspect Lax salespeople, no politeness Lacks a warm welcome Only pastry and chocolate mark quality I preferred shopping with a much nicer and more cheerful competitor
