Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

Warm weather travellers will appreciate summer in Pau, when the temperatures are pleasant but not too hot. The warm season lasts from mid-June until the end of September and July is the busiest month for tourism. Winter sports lovers looking for snow will want to visit from late January to early March instead for the best chances of entertainment. In this case, February is the busiest month. Spring and Autumn are the less crowded seasons, which makes them good for finding deals. Note that rain is more frequent during these periods.
