Pau Old Town Guided Private Walking Tour｜France

Begin at the majestic Place Royale, where the bronze statue of King Henry IV, the beloved "Good King," welcomes you. Stroll down the Boulevard des Pyrenees with sweeping views over the Pyrenean peaks. Pass by the church dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours and the wonderful hotel Gassion: a silent witness to the city's golden age as "The Queen of Winter Resorts."

Winding into the Old Town, enter a maze of cobbled streets and ancient facades. From hôtel Sully to the Chateau de Pau where Henri IV was born, wander into Rue Maréchal Joffre, a lively boulevard filled with shops. From the Marguerite de Navarre square to the rue des Cordeliers, leading to the Saint Jacques church: a stop on the pilgrims' route to Santiago de Compostela.

Discover the house of Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte where you discover a remarkable tale of destiny that ties Pau not only to France but also to Scandinavia's royal line. Then, discover where "Behold a Pale Horse" was filmed as you stroll through the "Hedas" neighborhood: originally a natural gully that carried rainwater and waste to the Gave de Pau but recently had one of the most fascinating transformations in the city's history.

Your tour concludes where Pau's history began: the gardens of the chateau. A city that was once royal and still is!
