Le quartier historique de Pau

55 km from Argelès Gazost going through Lourdes, Pau, the Capital of Bearn, birthplace of Henri IV and of Bernadotte, English town during the XIX century, is a place which merits a visit. Then going on a little further towards the Ossau valley, the wine yards of Jurançon await you.

In Pau, there is no lack of places of interest : the famous Henri IV castle, the completely renovated Beaumont palace, the Boulevard of the Pyrenees with its incredible view of the complete mountain range, …

Don’t forget to stroll around the historical center, to visit the birthplace of Bernadotte (Field marshal of Napoleon I and king of Sweden) or even the amazing new town hall.
