 Pau lies on the Gave de Pau, and is located from the Atlantic Ocean and from Spain.This position gives it a striking panorama across the mountain range of the Pyrenees as well as the hillsides of Jurançon.The appellation "Horizons Palois" has been created with the aim of protecting the view, in particular from the Boulevard des Pyrénées which extends for from the Château de Pau to the Parc Beaumont.
