Pau

A week in Pau, France to visit our friends who expatriated there last year. Beautiful part of France, very green and scenic, overlooking the Pyrenees.

Picnic at Parc du Chateau, 37deg.




I'm sorry it's four No's, but very glad to have met you.



St Jean de Luz beach just south of Biarritz was beautiful.





Aqua Bearn Water park.



Cable car to Pic du Midi, 9,500ft in the pyrenees. Absolutely breathtaking views.









Follow the blue line in Lourdes for a historic tour of Saint Bernadette's life, ending at the grotto where she saw the apparitions. Strange place, extremely religious and serious, but the kids were very well behaved. I later realised they had been so quiet because they were counting Nuns - 496.



The magic kingdom at Lourdes



Fountains in the centre of Pau






Nobody knew I was from out of town
