France can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travelers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Best Time to Visit
Warm weather travellers will appreciate summer in Pau, when the temperatures are pleasant but not too hot. The warm season lasts from mid-June until the end of September and July is the busiest month for tourism.
Winter sports lovers looking for snow will want to visit from late January to early March instead for the best chances of entertainment. In this case, February is the busiest month.
Spring and Autumn are the less crowded seasons, which makes them good for finding deals. Note that rain is more frequent during these periods.

Airport
Pau-Pyrenees Airport (Aéroport Pau Pyrénées) is located seven kilometres north of the city centre and about an hour’s drive from the Pyrenees’ ski stations and the beaches of France’s south-west coastline.
IDELIS shuttle bus runs from Pau-Pyrenees Airport to Pau town centre and Pau train station. The buses depart from the airport every hour from 7:40am-7:40pm. From the train station the bus leaves approximately every hour from 6:30am-7:50pm. You can buy tickets directly from the bus driver and the journey from Pau-Pyrenees Airport to Pau train station takes about 30 minutes. However, please notice the IDELIS shuttle bus does not run on Sundays or on French public holidays and that it is advisable to book a taxi instead.
