Winter and spring
Horse racing, the Béarn carnival, concerts and mountain outings bring energy to the first months of the year. Spring then welcomes outdoor sport, gardens and the first large public gatherings.
Summer in the city
Summer often combines free concerts, open-air cinema, national sporting events and festivals. Evenings remain pleasant for walking along the Boulevard des Pyrénées and dining outside.
Autumn highlights
Rugby, equestrian sport, jazz, theatre and food events mark the autumn. It is an excellent season for combining Pau with the Jurançon vineyards and the Pyrenean foothills.
Event dates and access conditions change every year. Use the official city and tourist-office calendars before booking tickets or organising transport.
