FRANCE - Nouvelle Aquitaine - Pau
Pau is a commune overlooking the Pyrenees, and capital of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
The city is located in the heart of the former sovereign principality of Béarn, of which it was the capital from 1464. Pau lies on the Gave de Pau, and is located 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the Atlantic Ocean and 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Spain. This position gives it a striking panorama across the mountain range of the Pyrenees as well as the hillsides of Jurançon.
The National Museum of the Château de Pau is housed in the castle in which was born the future King Henry IV on 13 December 1553. Not only a genuine medieval fortress, but also a Renaissance palace and Royal residence.
