Georges Clémenceau Square

Highlight • Other

Place Clemenceau is a bit like the heart of the city, a large square where everyone meets.

Teenagers, family, friends, all come to enjoy an ice cream, skate or just sit down to chat on beautiful sunny days.

Boulevard of the Pyrenees

Highlight • Other

Boulevard des Pyrénées is famous! It was Napoleon Bonaparte who in 1808 had the idea for its design.

Its realization did not materialize until the very end of the 19th century. From this boulevard located on the edge of the cliff, you can contemplate the spectacle of the Pyrenees chain in the distance, including the Pic du Midi d'Ossau.

There is also the curious funicular of Pau, a statue of Henri IV, as well as 54 small plaques which indicate to walkers the name of the various Pyrenean peaks visible.

Palais Beaumont

Highlight • Monument

The Palais Beaumont is Pau’s former Winter Palace, designed by the architect Emile Bertrand and built in 1898 on the site of an old villa bought by the city. The Winter Palace, flanked by two Belle Époque-style bell towers, included a theatre, games rooms, a restaurant and, most notably, a large exotic garden, the Palmarium, covered by a huge elliptical glass roof measuring 1,800 m2.
The building was extremely expensive to maintain, however, and fell into disrepair. It was fully renovated in 1928 by Odon de Béarn, who turned the building into a casino. As part of the renovation works carried out by the architect Georges Wybo, the large glass roof was removed and nine large window doors were installed, which offered lots of light and a view onto the Pyrenees.
Further extensive renovation works were carried out in 2006 by the architect François Lombard. The building was modernised and equipped with conference rooms and became a conference centre.

Andoins coast

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A beautiful coast, but not a particular point of interest. It goes up to an anecdotal subdivision. A crossing point like any other.

Church of Andoins

Highlight • Religious Site

The current church is today rebuilt on the site of the old medieval castle of Andoins. From the 11th century, the lords of Andoins were important figures, members of the Cour Majour of the Viscount of Béarn. The castle was probably burned down as a result of a plot against Gaston Febus, Viscount of Béarn from 1343 to 1391, in which Baron Raymond d'Andoins participated.

Morlaàs

Highlight • Settlement

Located north of Pau, Morlaàs is positioned as a pretty viewpoint over the Pyrenees. Former historic capital of Béarn from 1080 to 1260. Its church, Sainte-Foy, a jewel of Romanesque art, is appreciated by pilgrims from Santiago de Compostela who come to worship there.
