Pau is the next largest city in SW France after Bordeaux and Toulouse. Its elegance comes from its history as a Spa Town in the Belle Epoque (19th Century).
Nearby are the vineyards of Jurançon (fabulous dry and sweet white wines) and the town is often visited by the annual cycling Tour de France each July.
Pau is located 45 minutes from the Pyrenees and its ski resorts. It is a holiday resort for tourists to the Pyrenees (hiking, climbing, skiing) and Spain. Located near the Basque and Landes coasts, it is possible to indulge in water sports (surfing, diving, sailing, etc.).
Pau is the gateway to the five Béarnese valleys (the Ossau Valley, Vallée d’Aspe, Vallée de Barétous , the Vallée de l’Ouzom and Vath-Vielha) and the ski resorts of Gourette, Artouste , Le Somport and La Pierre Saint-Martin spas such as Eaux-Bonnes and Eaux-Chaudes and for eco-tourism (white-water sports, cultural and foodie tourism).Its location at the foot of the Pyrenees gives Pau an exceptional panorama of the chain of the Pyrenees mountains, in particular from the famous Boulevard des Pyrénées which is a long avenue of over a mile facing the Pyrenees mountain range.
