Maison de l'Infante, 17th-century house in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France.

Located by the port, Maison de l'Infante features two Italian galleries with five arches, red brick walls, and stone towers on its facade.

Built around 1640 by shipowner Joannot de Haraneder, the house accommodated Marie-Thérèse of Spain during her marriage to Louis XIV in June 1660.

The anteroom contains a large 17th-century fireplace decorated with crowned dolphins and cherub heads, reflecting French aristocratic architectural styles.

Visitors can find the Maison de l'Infante on Rue de l'Infante, near the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, with public transportation access.

The beams in the main room display decorative patterns from the Fontainebleau school, featuring mythical creatures and exotic flowers discovered in 1996.
