Maison Adam: Basque tradition and expertise serving gourmet delights since 1660.

Creator of the Macaron

In 1660, at the wedding of Louis XIV in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Basque Country, the mother of Louis XIV and the Spanish Infanta Marie-Thérèse succumbed to the delicacy of Monsieur Adam's macaroons.

These same "Paré Gabéa" (without equal in Basque) crowned the glasses of white wine served in the Adam's pastry cabaret to the Russian refugees, artists, Breton fishermen and many others who flocked there at the turn of the century.

Today, Andoni and Miguel Telleria-Adam are developing the business they inherited from their father Jean-Pierre, maintaining tradition while innovating in the demanding craft of pastry, confectionery and chocolate-making.

With its prestigious origins in a royal wedding, the Adam macaroon is an integral part of Luzien and Basque heritage. Our mission is to perpetuate this recipe without altering it, over the generations of the same house. At the same time, we are committed to constant innovation, to create a pastry and chocolate shop of excellence, where gourmet pleasure rhymes with mastery, and creativity with authenticity.

On a day-to-day basis, it's the work of a close-knit team of men and women motivated by an unwavering sense of savoir-faire. And so, around His Majesty Macaron, Basque cakes and chocolates feast in fine style... And all lovers of intense flavors are warmly invited to enjoy!

All our recipes are made with the finest ingredients, sourced in France and of 100% natural origin. We strive to include as many organically grown ingredients as possible, and to reduce our carbon footprint by sourcing from national and European producers.
