FOREVER NU !

A bold and modern stage performance blending the body and art in an innovative way.

Billère is a remarkably pleasant, leafy suburb of Pau in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, offering visitors a seamless blend of urban convenience and sweeping access to nature. Situated along the northern banks of the fast-flowing Gave de Pau river, the town frequently rewards visitors with spectacular panoramic views of the dramatic, often snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees. The absolute historical highlight is the Pau Golf Club; established in 1856 by Scottish expatriates, it proudly holds the title of the oldest golf course in continental Europe. This expansive, elegantly landscaped English-style green continues to lend a distinguished atmosphere to Billère today. For nature enthusiasts, the river valley is a true sanctuary. Long, shaded pathways winding through protected wetland environments run along the riverbanks, providing a first-rate setting for relaxing walks or cycling. The local town forest, Bois du Lée, features additional tranquil green spaces. Despite its highly peaceful ambiance, Billère's great transport links mean the historic heart of Pau is just minutes away, making it a good basecamp.
