Pau, the historic capital of Béarn, preserves notable traces of its royal past. The 14th-century castle, birthplace of Henry IV, overlooks the city and stands as the centerpiece of the local heritage. The Boulevard des Pyrénées offers views of the mountain range and connects several landmarks. The city maintains several museums, including the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Musée Bernadotte, housed in the French marshal's birthplace. Religious buildings such as the Saint-Martin and Saint-Jacques churches, along with the historic Parlement de Navarre, document urban development over the centuries. The funicular railway, opened in 1908, links the upper town with the railway station district. Pau also features sports and recreational facilities including the racecourse, the Circuit Pau Arnos, and the national stud farm in the adjacent commune of Gelos. Parc Beaumont and the Forêt de Bastard provide green spaces within the city limits. In Lescar, a few miles away, a medieval settlement maintains its own historical character.
