'''CHEMINS DE SAINT JACQUES:'''<br />
People often come to Pau to reach the Chemins de St Jacques, en route to Spain. Access is usually from St Jean Pied de Port or Navarenx<br />
- St Jean Pied de Port is accessed by train, via Bayonne (See "transportation" below). To get there you could land in Biarritz instead of Pau<br />
- Navarenx is another story: take the Pau-Mauleon bus line with TPR (See "transportation" below), get of in Mourenx, and hitch/hike 10km to Navarenx...<br />
''Please look up info on specialized websites, and feedback any info and links that could be of use to other CS''<br />
Of course, don't hesitate to email the local CS for help!<br />

Between 45 and 90 minutes from Pau are a few ski resorts:<br />

Best to contact local couchsurfers to check out buses/shuttles, or if they can take you there when they go. The snow can be fabulous, or really crap, it changes very quickly depending on the weather.<br />

[[File:Wine Tasting at Clos Lapeyre.jpg‎ |thumb|150px|left|Jurançon Wine Tasting]]
'''LA ROUTE DES VINS : le Jurançon'''<br />
Regional treasure : white wine ! You must discover the taste of Jurançon.<br /> 
Information may be found here : [http://www.coeurdebearn.com/FR/vins_du_juran%C3%A7on.aspx Coeur de Béarn]<br />
It is nice to go directly to the wine producer, instead of a cooperative. Driving throught the hills of Jurancon and Gan, you get past lots of them, usually open to visitors without reservation. Tried and tested : [http://www.jurancon-lapeyre.fr Le Clos Lapeyre] and [http://www.vins-jurancon.fr/domaines/plaquette.php?id=21 Cru Lamouroux]<br /> 
''Note: Please feedback when you find a winetasting place that offers explanations in English''<br />
