Take a walk on the phenomenal Boulevard des Pyrenees, the view surpasses the senses...the palmtrees in the background and all around are a source of inspiration for the romantics, turn and face the manifique architecture of the city... the purity of the air is absolutely refreshing.

The boulevard winds through the city front, leading from the sensational park of Beaumont to the architectural wonder of the Chateau de Pau.
