Pau-Pyrenees Airport Car Hire with a Debit Card
Car hire with a debit card is now available from Pau-Pyrenees Airport! Pau is a smaller French commune overlooking the Pyrenees mountain range, just 30 miles from the Spanish border. The city is known for it’s particularly royal history – originally developed around the construction of its castle in the 11th century, it would later become the capital of Bearn and even the seat of the Kings of Navarre until Bearn was absorbed into France. It was also the birthplace of two different royal families – King Henry IV of France and King Charles XIV of Sweden. During the Victorian period, Pau become a very exclusive tourist destination thanks to its mild climate in the winter months, and saw an influx of very wealthy Europeans.
The main reason most people travel to Pau-Pyrenees airport though is right there in the name – to visit the Pyrenees mountain range and its ensuing ski resorts! Home to over 50 different ski resorts between France and Spain, and hundreds of summits, the Pyrenees are the perfect place for alpine skiing and mountaineering. Thanks to the Alps getting much of the attention, the Pyrenees offer a much more authentic experience and are a lot less crowded with unspoilt scenery. It’s also a fair bit warmer too, which certainly helps! That’s not to say there isn’t anything to do in Pau itself though of course – you could take a walk down the Boulevard des Pyrenees, a 1.8km long street built to offer breathtaking views of the mountain range. A particular favourite is the museum of the Castle of Pau, the centuries-old fortress that the city was built around.
Pau Airport is located in Uzein, just northwest of Pau, and with the car hire desks directly in terminal you can be on your way in no time!
