Our Loft, which sleeps up to 8 people, is now available for vacation rental. It's situated in the heart of downtown Pau, on the pedestrian street of Maréchal Foch, which is packed with stores, restaurants and cafés. The museum, movies, a playground, a casino, and the famous castle of King Henry IV, are all within walking distance. The Loft is fully furnished, with a modern kitchen, French antique furniture from Louis Philippe era, an HD TV, internet, a computer, and a library. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to spend your next vacation in France.
We guarantee you a comfortable, relaxing, cost-sensible vacation, with unforgettable and rich experiences in French culture and French living. You may do grocery shopping at Les Halles, a 10-minute walk from the loft, where locally produced organic vegetables and fruits are available at very affordable prices in addition to the best cheeses made of milk from free-range cows and sheep raised in the Pyrénées. Local mouth-watering French pastries and desserts can be bought in boulangeries at every corner of the street around the loft.
There are certainly LOTS of shopping opportunities within walking distance. In addition to the large European chain stores such as ZARA, IKKS, Pimki, Galeries Lafayette, etc., visitors often take pleasure in shopping at the local public market at Verdun Square, a 15 minute walk from the loft, for the latest French fashion at incredibly affordable prices.
If you decide to rent a car during your stay, you'll find lots of attractive places within a 2-hour drive: toward the south, you'll cross the French-Spanish border and arrive in Spain to experience another culture altogether; toward the east, you'll find the world-famous ski resorts as well as lots of nice hiking routes in the heart of the Pyrénées; toward the west, you'll reach the beaches in Biarritz and St-Jean-de-Luz where Hollywoodiens choose to vacation, and toward the northwest, you'll arrive in the wine city of Bordeaux, where you'll see some breath-taking mansions, miles of vineyards, and be invited for wine-tasting.

The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
Pau is a modern but very traditional city. As an American myself, I enjoy the authentic French living style provided by Pau (as oppose to Paris, for example). People are warm, friendly and polite, with a lot to offer. People eat well in Pau! Wonderful food and taking time to eat are the basics of life here. I learned to eat with pleasure (instead of counting the calories), and have been exposed to real French cooking. People truly enjoy life here! At dusk, there are always people at all ages walking, jogging along the Boulevard des Pyrénées, while enjoying the view of the magnificent cascade of the Pyrénées. In local cafés, there are always people drinking coffee or sipping beer while spending time with friends or simply taking time to relax. The surrounding area is very diverse, equally modern and authentic, each with its own characteristics. We often take a day trip to the Pyrénées, hiking and picnicking during summer, skiing or tubing during winter. A day trip to the beaches in Biarritz, to take the "petit train" in St-Jean-de-Luz with kids, or to Spain to get the delicious Spanish sausages or designers' shoes of the latest fashion at affordable prices. In short, life in Pau is easy, fun, rich in culture, and consequently happy and healthy.
