Charming apartment downtown Pau (64)

André is a really lovely host, very helpful and warm, a delight.

The building was originally a grand hotel in the last part of the 19 and early 20 centuries and the apartment reflects this, high ceilings and spaciousness giving it character. An interesting feature is that one window in the large kitchen/ dining room looks over a small street, an impasse, enjoyable to see a bit of street life, people enjoying a meal at the restaurant situated there.

Pau is a lovely town, I would describe it as sophisticated but with a friendly atmosphere; as the main attraction is the Château, there are relatively few tourists, it is definitely a town which has not been spoilt.

A free little bus that goes on a circular route stops outside the large church of Ste Martin two minutes away, goes to ‘ les Halles’, the indoor market, a good place to buy local produce, excellent cheese, goats and ‘fromage de brebis’ from ewes. Also Bayonne ham a good buy.

Trains from Pau station go to interesting places, Bayonne, OleronSte Marie, Lourdes.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be returning in October.

Andre Bert has a grand apartment in the historic center of Pau, steps from the castle, cathedral, fine food and wonderful shopping. We would definitely stay again.

Probably the best equipped and best situated apartment I’ve had. André was delightful and very helpful and on time. Une belle expérience!

This apartment is very well situated near to the Chateau and the restaurant area but it is still very quiet. It is excellently equipped and well furnished. We even hosted a dinner party for local friends. Only downside is car parking but it is manageable. The host, Andre Bert, is very good and helpful.

Andre's apartment is by far the most perfect place to stay in gorgeous Pau --- absolute comfort, style, elegance, space -- in other words ... perfect!!!

Andre went out of his way to welcome us into this stunning apartment -- we felt very grateful and privileged!

His apartment exceeded all expectations, and we would love to come back and stay again!!!!!!!

Merci Beaucoup, Andre,

Yael and Doug
