Boulevard des Pyrénées

With buildings on its northern side only, and a terrace overlooking the valley of the Gave de Pau to its south, the boulevard is notable for its panoramic view of the peaks of the Pyrenees some 50 km to the south.

[1] The boulevard was created at the suggestion of Napoleon I, and overlooks terraced gardens cascading down the valley side.

Along the railings on the terrace side of the boulevard are plaques pointing out and describing each mountain.

[1] The boulevard runs for some three-quarters of a kilometer, linking the Parc du Beaumont to the Château de Pau and forming the southern edge of the town centre.
