Exploring Pau with a Rental Car

Referred to as Pau Porte des Pyrenees (PPP), The Gate to the Pyrenees has been a start and/or finish stage for the Tour de France over 60 times. This portion of the race is considered to be one of the most rigorous terrains of the world famous competition because it has cyclists fiercely pedaling on the inclines throughout the mountain range.

Pau also boasts claim to Europe's oldest 18-hole golf course (designed and created from years 1856 to 1860), and it is still in use today. There is a popular walking and jogging trail that runs alongside the golf course and the Gave de Pau River. The picturesque route begins near the Château de Pau, and it is one of many paths you may explore in the city. You will also find that many equestrian events take place here, and there are plenty of canoeing and kayaking opportunities to take advantage of along the river.
