Pau is a commune and the capital of the Pyrenees-Atlantiques department, in the Aquitaine region of southern France. The city was the capital of the traditional Bearn region of southern France, an honour that was given to it in the 15th century. Today the city is famous for its university, the Universite de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour, and its elevation. The city is on a 200m elevation and overlooks the mountain river, the Gave de Pau.

The main attraction in Pau is the Chateau de Pau, which is a large castle that dominates the city’s skyline. It was the birthplace of the 16th century king of France, Henry IV, and was regularly used by Napoleon as a holiday home in the 19th century. It is now considered of great historical importance to France, and houses a vast collection of tapestry.

The city is also home to a number of great sporting attractions, including the local basketball team, Elan Bearnais Pau-Orthez, who have produced world-famous players like Boris Diaw and Johan Petro. The city also has a football team, Pau FC, and a rugby union team, Section Paloise, who play in the French second division. Elsewhere Pau has been home to the first golf course on continental Europe, which was laid in 1856.
