Parc Lawrence

Parc Lawrence is a public park in Pau featuring centuries-old trees including Lebanese cedars, open grassy spaces, and children's play areas. At its center stands Villa Lawrence, a building constructed in 1855 with Flemish and Germanic architectural details.

Villa Lawrence was built in 1855 by the Schlumberger family and has anchored the park's center since then. The building reflects architectural influences from Flemish and Germanic styles of its era.

The Villa Lawrence at the park's center has housed the English Circle collections since 2002 and serves as a community gathering space for cultural events.

The park sits near the Parc des Expositions on Pau's northern side and is freely accessible throughout the year. Visitors can arrive at any time without restrictions from fixed opening hours.

Villa Lawrence also functions as the Museum of the Resistance and opens its doors every Wednesday afternoon for historical exhibitions. This dual purpose gives the building a role beyond its cultural center activities.
