Pau is a city you run facing the Pyrenees, between hillsides and river. The Boulevard des Pyrénées offers one of the finest views in Europe over the range, Parc Beaumont unrolls its avenues and lake in the heart of town, and the Gave de Pau runs below, cool and wild. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Boulevard des Pyrénées promenade, the Parc Beaumont loop, the Gave banks, the Bois du Bastard trails. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Palois who knows the good paths — flat or on the hillsides — and the right tempo, with the summits as your backdrop.

They pick a flat loop (the boulevard, Parc Beaumont) or a drop to the Gave and a castle climb depending on your level. Many of our guides here are running-club members and Pau University students who know every trail — the Pyrenees in their sights.
