Nice visit - We visited with our family this traditional and family-run Bayonne ham factory. The visit was very interesting. The lady who introduced us very friendly. The explanations were clear and effective. We see the love and quality of the product. We recommend this visit.

Content to be improved - The visit could be interesting if it were not so simplistic. The explanations were relatively superficial, so a little disappointment on that side.
