Beach near Pau, France

Pau Travel Guide

France

Pau is a city of 82,697 people in south-west France, close to the Pyrenees. It uses the Europe/Paris time zone and is served by Pau-Pyrenees Airport (PUF), making air travel the most direct option for visitors arriving by plane.

Pau is inland, so there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres. For a trip focused on the coast, you will need to travel beyond the immediate area; the city is better suited to exploring south-west France and the nearby Pyrenean region.
