The mayor of Pau and President of the Community of Communes François Bayrou as well as the Prefect had admitted that this achievement was not satisfactory, that an access ramp was missing. Pau à Vélo presented a project that was perfectly feasible and compatible with the constraints of the location (taking into account the environment, flood risks, etc.). Nothing moves. Lamentable.

If you want to quench your thirst, drinking water points are present in addition to bars (mostly pubs) along the boulevard. Note that the SNCF / bus station is below and a park is also present there.
