Saint-Martin Church (Pau)

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Saint-Martin was first built between 1468 and 1472 on a site opposite the castle of Pau. In the 19th century, the church was too small for the population of Pau and was replaced in 1871 by a new church located a little further east. It was therefore decided to demolish the old church in 1885. The church tower was partially destroyed in 1794, then rebuilt in wood in 1805 before being completely rebuilt when the new Saint-Martin church was built. The new building is of neo-Gothic architecture with a Byzantine influence.

Georges Clémenceau Square

Highlight • Other

Place Clemenceau is a bit like the heart of the city, a large square where everyone meets.

Teenagers, family, friends, all come to enjoy an ice cream, skate or just sit down to chat on beautiful sunny days.

Palais Beaumont

Highlight • Monument

The Palais Beaumont is Pau’s former Winter Palace, designed by the architect Emile Bertrand and built in 1898 on the site of an old villa bought by the city. The Winter Palace, flanked by two Belle Époque-style bell towers, included a theatre, games rooms, a restaurant and, most notably, a large exotic garden, the Palmarium, covered by a huge elliptical glass roof measuring 1,800 m2.
The building was extremely expensive to maintain, however, and fell into disrepair. It was fully renovated in 1928 by Odon de Béarn, who turned the building into a casino. As part of the renovation works carried out by the architect Georges Wybo, the large glass roof was removed and nine large window doors were installed, which offered lots of light and a view onto the Pyrenees.
Further extensive renovation works were carried out in 2006 by the architect François Lombard. The building was modernised and equipped with conference rooms and became a conference centre.
