The Pau Chateau and The Junior Suite

I wanted to show these great footpaths which we see alot of everywhere made entirely of little stones.

We spent a couple of hours on a guided tour of the Pau Chateau today. An ideal way to spend some time on a cold and rainy day. I find it fascinating to imagine the way people lived in those days and how they spent their time. The tour was all in french but we had a printout of a translation in english.
The hotel where we stayed in Pau was a good internet find. 56€ a night for a 2 room 'junior' suite with a kitchenette. free parking and right next to a huge E.Le.Clerc shopping centre for getting essential supplies. It wasn’t walking distance to town but you can’t have everything. We found free parking in Pau at Place Verdun on the first day when we visited the Pau Chateau.
