You wonder about the gastronomy in Pau? Well, there are a jam-making museum and over 150 restaurants to show you! Here you will find the specialities of the South-West - the confits, duck and goose breasts, the foie gras - and the Béarn specialities: milk-fed lamb, cheeses made from ewe's milk, pigeon, trout and salmon, Madiran, the Jurançon wine and rosé wines from the Béarn. All these and other treasures can be found at the picturesque Saturday morning market in the Place de la République. If you're looking for clothing, a book, jewellery or maybe a present for someone, Pau has all it takes to satisfy your needs. There are over a thousand shops and boutiques in the town centre, not to mention the antique dealers, the weekly Foirail bric-a-brac market and a dozen or so art galleries.

In the mood for a game? In the wonderful décor of the Palais Beaumont you'll find the casino, piano bar and restaurant, open until the early hours for lovers of roulette, Black Jack, boule and slot-machines. Will this be your lucky day?
