Places to see in ( Saint Jean de Luz - France ) Maison Louis XIV

A magnificent house of the seventeenth century, Lohobiague-enea, better known under the name of Maison Louis XIV, is located near the harbour in the historical center of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Place Louis XIV.

It was built in 1643 by a wealthy shipowner, Joannis Lohobiague, whose family owned several fishing boats. Characterized by its two corner turrets topped with slate roofs, its main facade in stone, a truly classical style, is said to be the façade Louis XIII.

Lohobiague-Enea is intimately linked to the marriage of Louis XIV with Maria Theresa of Austria, Infanta of Spain, since it is in this house that the young monarch lodged for over a month. Imagine the activity of the house throughout this period: Louis XIV lived there, complying to protocol, and messengers, lords, courtiers and churchmen came and went regularly.

It still belongs to the descendants of the owner. They have opened the house to visitors for a part of the year and have therefore been able to upkeep the furniture. The grandest house in town was built in 1643 by a wealthy shipowner, but its main claim to fame is as the house where Louis XIV lived out his last days of bachelorhood before marrying María Teresa. It's awash with period detail and antiques. Half-hour guided tours (with English text) depart several times daily in July and August.
