Les Halles

Les Halles is a massive indoor food market, selling all kinds of produce: meats, fish, cheese, flowers, pastries, wine from Jurançon and much more. Definitely worth a visit and a great place to explore the culinary delicacy of France.

Shopping

Pau’s main shopping area is concentrated behind the symbolic Boulevard des Pyrénées. The Place Clémenceau has some stylish boutiques and similar shops can be found on the roads that shoot off the square, notably rue Maréchal Foch, Cours Bousquet and rue du Château. Other good streets for local gifts and clothes are the pedestrianised areas of rue Serviez and rue Cordelières. In these areas you'll be able to find many big chain stores like H&M, Zara and Sephora. For local produce and gift shops the little streets such as rue Henri IV of the Old Town are the best. There are also a number of excellent “boulangeries artisanales” (bakeries) selling croissants and baguettes. Rue de la République is a short pedestrian street lined with many small shops, ranging from clothing stores to butcher shops, offering the chance to shop for unique pieces.
