Lovely boulevard -- lots of lovely houses & mansions to look at while strolling along; and lots of cafes and restaurants. Palm trees giving great atmosphere, together with a gorgeous view of the snow-capped Pyrenees.

Pau is known as the Ville Anglais locally and has always had a close connection with England through history. The Boulevard does remind you of a coastal promenade that you might find along the English coastal towns. However this walk offers the view of the Pyrenees that you just won't find anywhereon these isles. There is a classical elegance about the town centre in general but it is epitomised by this part of the town where cafes and restaurants huddle around the castle walls inviting you to stop and stare at the view for a little longer.

But instead of the gloomy grey old English Channel and pebbles you have a stunning view of the Pyrenees - well designed but poorly maintained but still a fine place to sit and stare at mountains

Parking near this area was easier than I had expected but the prime location bars were just as pricy as one would imagine. Service on a sunny October lunchtime was rather slow, and trying to pay took forever. But the views of the Pyrenees are fabulous, the promenade area is meticulously maintained, and the architecture and monuments worth a look. what's not to like

Yes there are good views and nice buildings along it but I'm missing the wow factor here. We even had a picnic lunch on one of the many benches on a beautiful day but...why is this an attraction.

You will get a sense of the glorious past that was Pau. As you walk along this Boulevard, at the edge of the Pyrenees, the views are spectacular the buildings grand...explore the upper levels as well as the streets and paths below....ride the funicular too.

Visited here with my family and really liked the area, this part has a lot of elderly locals and very quiet. I do not recommend public transport as it becomes a hassle, we used the car we had for the next day. Ideal for a short break and visit Lourdes (30 mins away by train)

A wonderful avenue from the chateau of Henri IV to the parc Beaumont with views of the mountains. Underneath the avenue a path among palm trees winds down to the station. Nice cafes with terraces facing the mountains.

This is a beautiful part of Pau with nice views over the Pyrenees (on a sunny day). There are some nice bars and restaurants along the boulevard.

Beautiful views, the eating places with good views seem to have diminished in number and gone down market.
