A family holiday in Béarn is the ideal setting to relax at the foot of the Pyrenees. The city of Pau, with a pleasant climate all year round, offers great places for water sports and fun. There is also plenty to discover in the immediate surroundings!
Pau, a water sports hub
All year round, the local swimming pools are open for various activities: competitive swimming, relaxation or swimming lessons, as well as more fun activities. The Stade Nautique complex, located at 2 Avenue Nitot, offers a whole host of aquatic leisure activities, with something for everyone regardless of age.
More modern and just as welcoming, the Péguilhan swimming pool is located on Avenue du Cami Salié. Built in 1987 and refurbished in 2011, this pool is also home to groups and clubs.
A little further out of the city, you can also enjoy the pleasures of the beach in the mountains. The village of Baudreix is home to a lake that has been converted into a water park, perfect for thrill-seekers! There are fifteen water slides for you to take the plunge. Further south and along the Pau river, Espace Forme Nayeo awaits you at the foot of the mountains, in the village of Nay. This leisure facility houses a 25-metre swimming pool and an area dedicated to water sports. All of these bathing centres are secure and supervised, for relaxed and safe recreation.
Other activities in the Béarn region
Pau and its region are ripe for discovery, in all its forms. Clean air and breathtaking views are accessible with a hike through the 60-mile long Pyrenees National Park. It runs along the Spanish border and offers guided or unguided walks through unspoilt nature. Discover the southern peak of Ossau and the Aspe valley, where you can observe many wild animals: chamois, marmots, golden eagles and even brown bears…
Less sporty, a visit of the town of Orthez reveals the rich historical past of this city bathed by the Gave of Pau. Discover its Pont-Vieux, which dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. The Moncade Tower, the dungeon of one of the castles of the Count of Foix, dates back to the 13th century and is also worth a detour.
