The history of the district

Le Château is the historic core of Pau, organised around the château of Henri IV, where the king was born in 1553, and the Vieux Pau, its alleyways and its old houses. It is the birthplace of the town, overlooking the Gave river from the château promontory.

The district takes in the Hédas, the oldest part of Pau, a former ravine now redeveloped as a lively promenade, and part of the Boulevard des Pyrénées, the balcony laid out in the nineteenth century that opens the view onto the mountain range. The building stock mixes older apartment blocks, town houses and private mansions from the resort era.

On the market, Le Château is a character area with a moderate apartment price, around 2 309 €/m². The prestige of the historic centre comes with an older stock often in need of renovation, which keeps the average price contained. Renovated properties, with a view over the Gave and the Pyrenees, sit above the district average.
