Visit Pau - ICF Canoe World Championships Pau 2017

Welcome to Béarn Pyrénées, land of mountains, creation, vineyards and ambition.

Here, life flows between rivers and spectacular mountain hikes, it celebrates traditional festivals and savors typical southwestern specialties while sipping glasses of Jurançon wine.

Welcome to Béarn Pyrénées, where youth bubbles with courage and ideas, where traditional expertise is passed on through the generations and nature is superbly well preserved.
