1914–1918 War Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

This monument was created from 1924 to 1927 by the architect Henry Challe and the sculptor Georges Vérez. It represents victorious France symbolized by Athena helmeted and armed. This statue is placed on an imposing pedestal, preceded by a step. A bas-relief representing a widow and her son is located at the back of the building. On each side, cubic piles bear the names of the battles in which the 18th regiment based in Pau took part.

National Museum and Estate of the Château de Pau

Highlight • Castle

It is precisely in this castle erected in the heart of the city, on a rocky spur overlooking the Gave that the future Henry IV, first king of France and Navarre, was born on December 13, 1553.

The place is also known for having been during the second half of the 14th century the fortress of Gaston Phébus count of Foix and viscount of Béarn.

Today it is a high-quality national museum, which you should hurry to discover.

There you will find, among other paintings, works of art from the time of good King Henry as well as the superb Gobelins tapestries, one of the most beautiful collections in France.

The castle's large dining room, which can accommodate more than 100 guests, is impressive.

You will find permanent and temporary exhibitions within the museum, as well as activities. Many of these have a connection to the era of the Green Gallant; nickname given to King Henry IV.
