Er, why did no-one mention how brilliant Pau is for shopping? Why didn't I know this?

[nevergoogle]

Found myself in Pau in SW France a few days ago.
Wow!
and lots of sales on right now too.

Did you style and beauty gurus know this? Do you keep it quiet?

ignored?

Who/ what is Pau??

it's a city in france.
the shopping is a bit nice.
infact the whole city was nice and i would move there if i could.
anyway, i wondered if anyone else goes there, seemed to be heaving with rich and beautiful people.

The Tour de France is going through Pau.

yeah, i was working the route of the tour travelling exactly the route but two weeks ahead of the tour (long story)which is how i happened to be in the city sort of by chance. having hardly heard of the place i was pleasantly surprised.
got to spend 3 nights there so had a bit of an explore.
veh nice.

ahhh...I'm with you now! I thought it was some kind of MN abbreviation which I was ignorant about

i love Pau - went there for a day during a walking holiday in the Auvergne a few years ago (was young and carefree and pre-children then ) don't remember the shops but will have to return there soon, clearly

Wow, that was a long walk Meerkate!

maybe all the french cities are good for shopping, i don't know. i didn't get time to explore anywhere else despite travelling around pretty much the whole of france. the only other place we stopped was morzine and it was a bit 'fleecy' in the fashion stakes.

this is a bit spooky, never, DH just got back from morzine yesterday. a week's mountain biking, so yes - fleece central, i imagine.
thank you otherside i do pride myself on my new (winged) walking boots
