Save the wine tasting courses for next year and indulge in the many culinary treats in Saint Jean de Luz.

Try Basque Cake and Mouchous at Maison Pariès (9, rue Gambetta,Saint-Jean-De-Luz)

tip : make sure to ask if the macaroons contain uncooked eggs, if so, they are not suitable for pregnant women

Try Kanouga, another specialty produced by Maison Pariès. This special treat was invented around 1914. This soft black chocolate (or coffee) caramel can also be made with walnuts or hazelnuts.

Pâtisserie ADAM (6 rue de la République, Saint-Jean-de-Luz)

In 1660, Monsieur ADAM created the subtle and delicious masterpiece we now know as the macaroon, made from a mixture of almond paste, sugar, ground almonds and egg whites.

During the wedding of Louis XIV to the Infanta of Spain, Monsieur Adam made some of his confections for the new king. Louis found the macaroons delightful, and his approval guaranteed that these delicacies became extremely popular with the Court. The Pâtisserie ADAM still exists in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, with the secrets of its recipe passed down from father to son.

Babymoons and the Zika Virus

Babymoons and the Zika Virus

Pregnant Travelers: be advised to read our  Q&A Section BabyMoon® Travel Q&A Section.

The safety of you and your baby always comes first. Therefore avoid travelling to areas where malaria and yellow fever occurs (yellow fever – Central South America and parts of equatorial Africa).

For detailed information about vaccination during pregnancy, we would like to refer to the website of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Department of Health and Human Services – USA).

Detailed information about planning a healthy pregnancy and travelling while pregnant (including vaccination information)
http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2010/chapter-8/traveling-while-pregnant.htm

UPDATE: JANUARY 25 2017

I am pregnant. How will Zika virus affect me or my unborn baby?

CDC has issued a travel alert (Level 2-Practice Enhanced Precautions) for people travelling to regions and certain countries where Zika virus transmission is ongoing:

Pregnant women should not travel to areas with active Zika virus transmission. See the Travelers’ Health Zika website for international travel guidance, and check the US Maps page for details on active Zika virus transmission in the United States.

ASIA, OCEANIA, PACIFIC ISLANDS

AFRICA

This alert follows reports in Brazil of microcephaly and other poor pregnancy outcomes in babies of mothers who were infected with Zika virus while pregnant. However, additional studies are needed to further characterize this relationship. More studies are planned to learn more about the risks of Zika virus infection during pregnancy.

Until more is known, and out of an abundance of caution, CDC recommends special precautions for pregnant women and women trying to become pregnant:

  • Pregnant women in any trimester should consider postponing travel to the areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. Pregnant women who do travel to one of these areas should talk to their doctor or other healthcare providers first and strictly follow steps to avoid mosquito bites during the trip.
  • Women trying to become pregnant who are thinking about becoming pregnant should consult with their healthcare provider before travelling to these areas and strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites during the trip.

Because specific areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing are difficult to determine and likely to change over time, CDC will update this travel notice as information becomes available. Check the CDC travel website frequently for the most up-to-date recommendations.
