Description
The joyous birth of Henri of Navarre, on the night of December 13, 1553, was the central event that brought the Château de Pau to life. It took place against a backdrop of remarkable artistic and political vitality, fostered by the kings of Navarre at their residences in Pau and Nérac.
From that era, the castle retains its Renaissance-style architecture—the famous “turtle shell”—and a memory just waiting to be revived.
An exclusive tour led by the curator of the National Museum and Estate of the Château de Pau.
