Pau - Château
|
|
Between the Château in Pau and the Parc Beaumont runs the Boulevard des Pyrénées, just under 2km/1.5mi long, which was laid out on the orders of Napoleon and affords magnificent views of the Pyrenees.
The Château, originally a fortified castle of the 14th C., was rebuilt in the 16th C. as a Renaissance palace. There have been many subsequent additions; the entrance hall is modern.
