            The Postcard

A postally unused carte postale that was published by Lévy et Neurdein Réunis of 44, Rue Letellier, Paris. The card has a divided back.

Pau and its Château

The Château de Pau is located in the centre of the city of Pau, the capital of Pyrénées-Atlantiques and Béarn. It dominates that quarter of the city.

Henry IV of France and Navarre was born here on the 13th.  December 1553.

The Belle Époque marked a resurgence for the Béarnaise capital, with a massive influx of wealthy foreign tourists, who came to spend the winter to take advantage of the benefits of Pau's climate. 

It was at this time that Pau became one of the world capitals of the nascent aerospace industry under the influence of the Wright brothers.

The château was once used by Napoleon as a holiday home during his period of power.

The château was classified as a Monument Historique in 1840 by the French Ministry of Culture. It contains a collection of notable tapestries.
