| Zoom on… Pau - Pyrenees |
The Pau - Pyrénées destination, right next to Spain and the Basque Country, is perfect for going green. This outdoor-sports-focused destination proposes activities all year round for experienced sportspeople and amateurs alike. This ever-so rich, welcoming destination, spearheaded by the royal city of Pau, is characterized by its strong Béarn identity, found in its history, its gastronomy and its one-of-a-kind vineyards.
A newsletter exclusive: discover our encounter with Sylvain Langer, director of the Pau - Pyrénées Tourist Office.

| Hermione’s major refit in Bayonne, French-style know-how for this ambassador frigate |
Hermione, a copy of the frigate armed by Lafayette that set sail to help Americans during their revolutionary war in the 18th century, is currently on dry dock at Port Adhoc Bayonne-Anglet in the Basque Country. An extraordinary sight: a frigate on dry land for a refit! For the first time since it was launched, visitors can discover Hermione during this maintenance operation. After the tour, visitors are in for a few surprises: a museographic space and an exhibition focusing on the history of the reconstruction of the world’s largest replica of an 18th-century frigate, as well as a competition based on Nouvelle-Aquitaine destinations.
For info : The “Hermione – Explore France” itinerant journey across Northern European countries is set to take place in 2023. |
