From the Hédas district to the Boulevard des Pyrénées, from the Palais Beaumont to the Château, every era has left its mark, shaping a city with many faces: here, history meets anecdote, whilst a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere weave a common thread that you’ll enjoy following.

It’s time for a break. Sitting on the terrace, having a drink or lunch, with a view of the Pyrenees – that’s all it takes to make us happy. It has to be said that the view is nothing short of spectacular! Stretching for nearly 2 km, between Beaumont Park and Pau Castle, you can take in 150 km of the Pyrenees…
The castle and the medieval quarter are unmissable sights, lending the town a regal air. As the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre, the birthplace of the Good King Henry IV, and the Protestant stronghold of Jeanne d’Albret, Pau has left its mark on French history. The medieval quarter and its narrow streets will give you a glimpse of a bygone era.

From here, you can browse the shops, cafés and restaurants in the city centre. Rue Joffre and Rue des Cordeliers for independent and designer boutiques. Rue Henri IV and Rue Louis Barthou for chic shop windows. Rue Serviez and Rue Foch for the high-street chains and the Palais des Pyrénées, which opens out onto the boulevard like a belvedere.
From the royal residence, make your way to the banks of the Gave. Its turbulent waters are ideal for white-water sports, which are enjoyed right here in the heart of the city… The Gave flows beneath the ramparts of Pau: it welcomes you as you leave the station, at the foot of the funicular.

This former working-class and rather disreputable neighbourhood of Pau was built in the lower town around the old stream that gave it its name. Now redeveloped, it has become a lively and picturesque spot for a family stroll or a night out with friends. A stunning light display creates a beautiful, dreamlike walk!
