Campanile ideas for stays, week ends and events

The château de Pau is one of the most popular sights in France. Originally a medieval fortress and then a Renaissance palace and royal residence, the château is also a museum that houses some exceptional pieces such as Henry IV's famous turtle-shell crib in the bedchamber of Jeanne d’Albret.The château was the occasional residence of the Dukes of Gramont before it was turned into barracks after the Revolution.Louis Philippe restored it and turned it into a royal residence, adding the Renaissance façades and a tower.The refurbishments, begun in 1838, were completed by Napoleon III who also added his personal touch with a second tower and a triple portico in the courtyard.The interior decoration is simple and elegant with wainscoting and gold thread, coffered ceilings and one of the finest collections of Gobelins tapestries in France.The dining room is notable for its table that can seat up to one hundred people and the sumptuous artwork on the walls.The beautiful terraced garden features orchards, arbors and a vineyard.
