Sports facilities
All sports are represented at Pau-Pyrenees.
Our colours are even represented by a certain number of these teams on both a national and European level.
From the Pau rugby team to our famous Elan Béarnais basketball team, and not forgetting our dynamic kayakists, or handball players from Billère, … here sport is part of our daily lives.
Sports facilities have not been left out either and all cohabit harminously together: football stadiums, rugby stadiums, pétanque playing areas, a kayak centre, a sports centre, swimming pools, a pelote complex, a racecourse etc ..
