Pau is a commune on the northern edge of the Pyrenees, capital of the Pyrenees-Atlantiques departement in France. It was also the capital of the Bearn region. It forms the communaute d’agglomeration of Pau-Pyrenees with 13 neighbouring communes to carry out local tasks together.
The Universite de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour, founded in 1972, means there is a high student population. The Boulevard des Pyrenees is 1.8 km from the Chateau de Pau to the Parc Beaumont, with views of the mountains. Alphonse de Lamartine said: “Pau has the World’s most beautiful view of the earth just as Naples has the most beautiful view of the sea.”
In the centre of Pau is a large castle, the Chateau de Pau, that dominates that quarter of the city. It is famous for being the birthplace of the 16th century king of France Henry IV and was once used by Napoleon as a holiday home during his period in power. It has a small garden that was tended by Marie Antoinette when she spent her summers in the city. The château is now considered a French historical monument and contains a collection of tapestry.
