First-time visitors can get to know Pau best by immersing in its rich history and culture of the Château Quarter. Not only is it the oldest part of the city, but it’s the most charming too. Find characterful period features throughout the area as you visit nearby highlights like the Château de Pau. There are also plenty of delightful bars and restaurants to keep you busy at night too.
Hédas Quarter is possibly the coolest and most lively quarter in Pau. Whilst its narrow old streets give it a whimsical sense of history, it exudes a fun and youthful atmosphere. No wonder it has become the best place in Pau for a night out. Find lively restaurant patios and bars spilling into the streets all year long.
Live like the French Bourgeoisie in Trespoey, the city’s upper-class neighbourhood. Find the most sumptuous hotels amongst historic holiday villas lined along the Boulevard des Pyrénées giving you outstanding views of the valley below.
Alternatively, swap the historic city for the beautiful French countryside. Find quaint French villages at the foothills of the Pyrénées to enjoy the great outdoors and Pau’s highlights in equal measure. Or opt for Jurancon, the sensational wine route just outside the city for a truly French experience.
