A very nice walk with a wonderful view of the mountains, go on a clear day though because otherwise you will not see the mountains and half of the experience will be gone. If you look carefully there are little markers on the rail that tells you what each mountain that you see is called.Yes there are cafes and restaurants along the way and it's very close to the town center. There is also the funicular that brings you to the lower part of the town and at the end of the walk there is the chateau de Pau. I live in Pau so I walk there often but I would recommend for tourists.

We walked over the harbour bridge after visiting the smaller 'Eglise Saint-Vincent' which is also worth visiting. However this church is on a much larger scale with a very impressive altar. The organ was also playing at the time which made for a wonderful atmosphere.

Propriété de l'académie de sciences, Abbadia, le Château Observatoire, surplombe la corniche basque et domine la baie d'Hendaye. Ses façades néogothiques et son intérieur richement décoré en font un lieu incomparable au Pays Basque.

Was a little sceptical about this tourist option, but we needed to pass some time. However the tour of the building well exceeded expectations! The guided tour is only in French but they gave us English guide books that were fine. The design, furniture and decor inside the many rooms of the Chateau are exceptional. Very pleased with our visit!

The views by the lighthouse in all directions are beautiful. And the cite contains a monument to the Franz Hals, a enormous trawler that grounded on the main beach in Biarritz without being destroyed by the rocks.. Search for a picture of it on line. It is amazing.

Bayonne's Cathedral, with its twin spires and surrounded by narrow streets really dominates the old part of this lovely city. While the Gothic cathedral is impressive from the outside (including the cloisters, the flying buttresses and the twin sprires - which in fact were not finished until the 19th century), it was the church's interior we found truly beautiful. Some superb stained-glass windows and exquisite wall paintings to be seen.
10. Oloron-Sainte-Marie Cathedrale
