Events calendar Béarn

Vibrations and emotions are shared with this festival, which takes place at the end of June and offers astonishing musical experiences around the theme of percussion. The festival takes place at the Hédas, but events also take place at other venues in Palais (Foirail, media libraries) and beyond (Maison de la Musique in Montardon, Espace Daniel Balavoine in Bizanos). On the program: film-concerts, shows for young audiences, and of course concerts featuring world-renowned drummers and percussionists. Giant batucadas, strolls and sound walks will thrill the hearts and ramparts of the château for a weekend. A great way to celebrate the arrival of summer.

This unique annual event in France has just celebrated its 80th anniversary. Two sessions follow one another: the Grand Prix which races modern cars (Formules 4, Cathéram and prototypes from French and foreign manufacturers) and the classic Pau Grand Prix which gives pride of place to old cars (such as the "pre-war" F1 or very chic GT models). The engines roar in the bends and make the eyes of thousands of visitors shine. Thanks to the new low-carbon liquid fuels, this event is now part of a sustainable innovation approach. From the paddocks to the city center, the festivities are going well during these two weeks of spring.
