The City of Pau - Located in the region of the Atlantic Pyrenees in Southwestern France, Pau is a picturesque city of 100,000 inhabitants. Pau offers spectacular scenery and a temperate climate. The city lies roughly 66 miles from the beaches of Biarritz, 36 miles from the ski resorts of Gourette and Artouste, and 24 miles from Lourdes. The Old Quarter, built around the castle of Henri IV, has an active commercial district, museums, and a library that houses the mementos of Henri IV and Marechal Bernadotte, the former king of Sweden. Pau, is a wonderful city for students. It is small enough to have everything within walking or biking distance. However, it is large enough to have several theaters, good movie houses, discotheques, student clubs, outdoor cafes, and beautiful shops.
