Confiserie Paries sur Saint-Jean-De-Luz

Very good Basque cake, and very kind and welcoming staff.

For the best Basque cakes, it's a sure thing!

This was our first encounter with Basque desserts. And we were absolutely delighted! We were blown away by the baked goods, the atmosphere, and the friendly service! We tried two Basque pies—cherry and walnut, and their signature moushu. We especially recommend the Basque walnut pie—it's EXCELLENT!

We tried the different Basque cakes, which were very good! As for the ice creams, we tried the Basque cake flavor and the strawberry/Espelette pepper ice cream. The latter was a little lacking in chili pepper flavor; it wasn't very noticeable. The staff were very friendly!

Delicious artisanal ice cream; we tried vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio. We also bought Basque chocolate gateaux, which were very good and a great price. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

The business lives up to its reputation. Excellent products and a pleasant welcome. I highly recommend this establishment.

We visited Maison Paries and bought two croissants, a large cookie, and a cortado. Visually, the croissants are quite striking, especially because of the number of layers of puff pastry you can see. However, I personally expected something more special given the reputation of the place. The croissant tasted quite similar to what you'd find in any good bakery in Spain, without any particularly noticeable difference. The cookie was also good, but we found the flavor rather conventional, similar to other pastry cookies. The establishment is more geared towards takeout, as we couldn't find a place to sit comfortably. We ate our food outside. Overall, it was a decent experience, although I was expecting something more distinctive in terms of flavor.

While on holiday in the region, a visit to Pariès, with its excellent reputation, is a must. A sure bet, and we received very good service, with a very pleasant touch of sweetness.

The apple puff pastry was exquisite, and the espresso was too. One negative point... there are no chairs.

Excellent chocolate sorbet! I recommend it. Thank you to the ice cream vendors this season for their good cheer.
