HISTORICAL HEART OF PAU
Stroll through the historic heart of Pau, from Place Royale to the Bernadotte Museum, via Boulevard de Pyrénées.
Between historic monuments and breathtaking panoramas, a stroll through the historic heart of Pau is a blend of architectural heritage and natural landscapes. The ideal starting point for the tour begins in Place Royale, with the statue of Pau-born King Henri IV at its center. A few steps away, his medieval château, transformed into a royal residence in the 16th century, sits close to the Boulevard des Pyrénées, a promenade with spectacular views of the Pyrenees. From the Gothic cathedral to the Bernadotte Museum, the birthplace of a Napoleonic marshal who became King of Sweden under the name of Charles XIV, the historic district will take you back through the ages.
