Visiting Pau
After taking a breath of fresh air, it's time to visit Pau! As you will soon realise, the city is rich in historical and cultural heritage. Just look up to admire the marvellous Château de Pau, founded several hundred years ago by the princes of Bearn when the region was still a sovereign principality. It is this thousand-year-old history that makes Pau an architectural gem, while its geographical location (nestled in the mountains) makes it a feast for the eyes. The dungeons of the castle and the "Belle Époque" frescoes of the Palais Beaumont stand side by side, all under the imposing mass of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre. Whether it is for art and history lovers or experienced hikers, there is something for everyone in Pau. A weekend in Pau would not be enough to do or see everything!
