Let's explore the royal city of Pau and taste Jurançon wines!
Overview of your Pau tour
Pau, the second biggest city in the Region of Aquitaine, capital of Béarn since 1464 is beautifully set between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean. The city is called the Gateway to the Pyrenees, because of its famous Boulevard des Pyrénées which offers a breathtaking view of these impressive mountains. Pau is also called the royal city because the good King Henry was born in its magnificent castle in 1553. The king for whom "Paris was worth a mass" and who is supposed to have said that he wanted every subject to be able to have some chicken in their broth. I invite you to visit one of the most beautiful French castles, admire the views from Boulevard des Pyrénées, and then taste some delicious white wine in one of the Jurançon vineyards. It is also possible to have lunch in one of the local restaurants.
