Château de Pau reviews

Nice tour. Interesting castle to visit. Very friendly staff. A bit sad that they only give tours in French when 80% of the visitors are either English or Spanish speaking. The do hand out a paper with the translation and the guide was very helpful in answering any questions in English.

It was a good activity to do on a Sunday in Pau, as literally everything was shut. The visit to the house was nice but a bit expensive in my view. The only option is go go around with a guided group, visitors can't go for a wander by themselves, which makes the experience a but crowded and not quite so intimate. Also, the guides only speak French, but they do hand out a leaflet in a variety of languages. Still a bit boring to follow along with a guide who didn't speak any English!
