Maison Louis XIV

Built in 1643 by a rich ship-owner, this house welcomed the young King Louis XIV for several months in 1660 when he came to sign the Treaty des Pyrénées and marry the Spanish Infanta Marie Thérèse in the Church of Saint Jean de Luz. The apartments in this splendid private house occupied by the King are open to the public who may admire the furniture and paintings from this epoch. Superb staircase. Since 2006, wax characters from the Grevin museum in St Jean de Luz may be viewed.
