About the location

Grand hôtel Gassion (l'ancien)
1 rue Gontaut Biron, 64000 Pau
  • Pyrénées-Atlantiques
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
The large Gassion hotel is a testimony to the cosmopolitan and luxurious tourism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Enter this iconic building and discover its «backstage» with a unique and shivering experience: boilers plunged in a lead silence are today an unusual oxidized monument. Sail in the rich and daring past of a Pau who has wagered everything to satisfy the demanding tourist. Let yourself be lulled by unusual anecdotes. The little «plus» will be appreciated as a huge treasure: cutlery, silvered metal dishes exposed which, like relics discovered 150 years later, are palpable witnesses of the obsolete past
