The Hôtel Bristol Pau takes you on a journey of discovery through its city, where you can experience the emotions of the great outdoors thanks to its idyllic landscapes.

The town of Pau is ideally situated in the centre of the former sovereign principality of Béarn, in a green setting thirty minutes from Spain. Its location at the foot of the Pyrenees and just a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean gives it a pleasant climate all year round.

It has managed to preserve its heritage and its many green spaces. With its marvellous landscapes, its wine-growing estate, its parks rich in exotic and rare plants... extending over more than 750 hectares.

Enjoying extraordinary landscapes

Hiking is one of the must-do activities in Pau. There are a number of routes, classified by difficulty, so that everyone can enjoy this unique experience.

What a joy to think that the only way to get to a place is to make a physical effort. It's immediately more valuable than a place you can get to by car.

It's a chance to get away from it all, to see some fantastic scenery, to clear your head, to challenge yourself physically and mentally, and also to meet people who share your passion.

Lasting around two hours and covering a distance of seven kilometres, Hôtel Bristol Pau recommends an urban stroll through the historic city centre. The route is described as easy and suitable for all levels, and will take your breath away with its scenery while you enjoy the city's architecture.

Visit to the winery

If you're a wine lover looking for something new to taste, the Hôtel Bristol Pau recommends visiting a number of wine estates. The Pyrenean Piedmont is home to a number of renowned appellations such as Jurançon, Madiran, Saint Mont... Make the most of your stay in Pau to visit these local producers.

You can also take a tour of the undulating roads of Jurançon, at an independent wine estate, to discover the soul of this golden-coloured wine.

To accompany this day, a presentation of the culture, the vine and the wine making will take place with the presence of a passionate wine grower.

You'll be able to enjoy a typical Pau winegrower's snack: cold meats and cheeses from the artisans at Les Halles de Pau, sweet specialities from Maison Francis Miot and half a bottle of sweet or dry Jurançon per person.

Time to relax in the hotel

After a physically demanding day's hiking and a dazzling day's scenery, the Hôtel Bristol Pau has more than enough to keep you dreaming.

Revisit your emotional days together over a drink in our bar or restaurant, with its flower-filled, peaceful atmosphere. Its winter garden is a truly friendly and peaceful place, inspiring calm and tranquillity to reconnect with yourself or those around you.

You can have breakfast in the same place to get the day off to a good start.
