Pau

Pau is represented by Section Paloise, a Top 14 rugby team that plays its home games at Stade du Hameau, and Pau FC, a League 2 football team that plays its home games at Nouste Camp.

Located at the confluence of the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Toulouse, Pyrénées, and the Spanish border, Pau is not your typical French city. Famed as the birthplace of King Henry IV and the seat of the Kingdom of Navarre, Pau has a rich and noble sense of history. As a leading political and financial centre, Pau attracted Europe’s aristocracy making it a regal and refined place defined by châteaux and villas. From the city’s wealthiest street, Boulevard des Pyrénées, you can look out onto the Jurancon wine route and the foothills of the Pyrénées, an iconic mountain range edging the Spanish border.
