Pau

Pau is a versatile city, and most sights are located just a short funicular ride away from the train station. Set on a hillside, you will find a majestic château, the former residence of Henri IV, the first Protestant king of France. The town’s iconic street, the Boulevard des Pyrénées, offers beautiful views adorned by palm trees, mountains, and the national park surrounding it. Behind 'the strip' there are busy little streets shooting off and converging around the main squares and central areas of Place Clémenceau and Place Royal. Everything is easily accessible from the boulevard, whether it's the bars lining it, the boutiques and clothes shops behind it, or the Centre Bosquet a few minutes’ walk away.
