==Tips==
The [http://www.pau.fr Pau.fr] city webpage is fairly good, but in French only.
 

'''CHEMINS DE SAINT JACQUES:''' 
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 
- 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 
- 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... 
''Please look up info on specialized websites, and feedback any info and links that could be of use to other CS'' 
Of course, don't hesitate to email the local CS for help!

[[Image:Col d'Aubisque, in the Pyrénées.jpg‎ |thumb|250px|right|Aubisque Pass, Pyrénées]]

'''SKI RESORTS:''' 
Between 45 and 90 minutes from Pau are a few ski resorts: 
For the main ones, check out Gourette, Luz Ardiden, Bareges-La Mongie-Tourmalet, Piau Engly, Peyragudes on [http://www.n-py.com www.n-py.com], another good one is [http://www.cauterets.com Cauterets]. 
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. 
Weather and snow reports on [http://www.meteofrance.com/FR/montagne/prevMassif.jsp?LIEUID=PYRENEES-OUEST MeteoFrance] and [http://www.snow-forecast.com/maps/static/pyrenees/3days Snow-Forecast] 
 

'''WIFI ACCESS:''' 
The airport and the train station provide Wifi, otherwise you can go to main hotels. 
''Note: Please fill in if you know of bars/restaurants providing wifi'' 
 

'''CYBERCAFES:''' 
Cyber Café - 20 rue Lamothe - 05 59 82 89 40 
Cyber Coyotte - 11 rue Duboué - 05 59 27 04 03 
[http://www.cybermodercom.fr Cyber Modercom] - rue Montpensier - 05 59 83 75 79 
 

'''RESTAURANTS:''' 
[http://www.lesamantsdumarche-resto-bio.com/ Les Amants du Marché]: a very cosy Cafe-resto with bio and vegetarian food : so tasty !

[[Image:Wine Tasting at Clos Lapeyre.jpg‎ |thumb|150px|left|Jurançon Wine Tasting]]
'''LA ROUTE DES VINS : le Jurançon''' 
Regional treasure : white wine ! You must discover the taste of Jurançon. 
Information may be found here : [http://www.coeurdebearn.com/FR/vins_du_juran%C3%A7on.aspx Coeur de Béarn] 
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] 
''Note: Please feedback when you find a winetasting place that offers explanations in English''
