BOULEVARD DES PYRÉNÉES
Read moreTo capture the magic of the city of Pau, this is an unmissable walk. Facing the Pyrenees, two kilometers of pure wonder await you, from the gates of the castle to the Beaumont park, on this suspended terrace of 72 arches. The view is panoramic, so rare that it has been classified and protected since 1944 under the name "Horizons palois"! The bars, restaurants and tea rooms that you will meet have a very particular soul, do not hesitate to take place in terrace, they are among the most beautiful of the city. The boulevard des Pyrénées was created following a visit by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1808. He was the first to mention the possibility of creating a promenade along the mountains. It was not until 1893 that the mayor Henri Faisans began the work that was completed in 1899. The objective was to develop foreign tourism and to make the city pleasant for visitors, especially in winter: today, we know that it was a total success! The funicular, created in 1908, is no stranger to this, it connects the station to the city and keeps this unique charm of the beginning of the last century. Below, the river Gave crosses the plain, the view goes over the hillsides of the Jurançon vineyards and the Pyrenees on a clear day offer a masterful view. One never tires of walking along this avenue, strolling and contemplating the horizon, whatever the season. An obligatory place of passage where Palois and tourists meet!

ARTS PAVILION
Read moreCompletely restored by the City, the fabulous Art Pavilion and its rooftop terrace serving the funicular have been found for a few years. A former showers with showers from 1831 to 1884, he was one of the architectural witnesses of the first transformations of the city in the second half of the nineteenth century. It was in 1884 that the municipality bought the building to install the Casino (the Palais Beaumont will only be built in 1899). It is then a mondain place of life. With the arrival of the new century, the Pavilion and its whole area are changed, the palm grove is installed in 1900 and the funicular in 1908. The building is a remarkable technical work, monumental seen from below and discreet when it is at the top. His illusion of a two-tier building is a feat. It is used to host municipal events, offices, exhibitions, over the years. Today, this place for exhibitions with particularly those of CAUE 64, debates and cultural encounters is a real place of life in the city creating a link between its lower and upper parts.
