Interesting and very good - The only problem with this visit is that you want to buy the whole store on the way out! Interesting information and very good tasting.

High quality workshop - Very interesting visit with tasting at the end. Very friendly staff. The products are really quality, we had ham and sausage, the taste is incredible. It's not cheap but it's a production that deserves to be supported. I highly recommend the visit if you are in Bayonne.

Behind The Scene of A High Quality Product - Very interesting. My French was limited so I used Google throughout the 40-45 minute tour. Very much enjoyed seeing behind the scenes of this high quality product.

Good visit which makes you love Bayonne ham more - A visit that provides a better understanding of the process of manufacturing and preserving a local ham. The explanations are clear and even if it's not super spectacular, the sight of these hanging hams and the smell are worth the trip. Small tasting at the end which launches the store's sales. It's good, a business that works. :)
