Pau, the town
Pau covers 31.5 km², lies between 165 and 245 m above sea level and had 80,441 inhabitants in the 2023 census. Its inhabitants are called the Palois.
Pau (pronounced [po] in French and [ˈpaw] in Béarnais) is a commune in south-west France, prefecture of the département of Pyrénées-Atlantiques in the région of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The town is situated at the heart of the former sovereign principality of Béarn, of which it has been the capital since 1464. The city occupies an interface position between plain and mountain, a crossroads where the valley of the gave de Pau, the plain of the Pont-Long and the trans-Pyrenean routes converge.
A little history
At the crossroads between the east-west river valley of the gave, its parallel the plain of the Pont-Long, and the north-south trans-Pyrenean routes, the Pau area is characterised from the Lower Palaeolithic through to Protohistory by traces of occupation left by mobile human groups. Traces of mobile hunter-gatherers are identified around Pau, at the interface between plain and mountain. The Neolithic period allows the development of livestock farming on the site to be identified, with the discovery of a flint scraper at the foot of the donjon of the château. The Pau territory confirms its role as a staging point between the plain and the mountain valleys, and in particular the Ossau.

Prices by property type in Pau
By property type in Pau, T2 at €2,186/m², T3 at €1,989/m², studio at €2,465/m², T4 at €1,937/m², T5+ at €1,940/m².
The studio carries the highest price per square metre and the T4 the lowest, a gap of 27 %. Small units usually cost more per square metre than large ones, because the price of a kitchen and a bathroom is spread over fewer metres.

Selling in Pau
Pricing in Pau starts by placing your property inside the €1,720 to €2,580 band rather than on the median alone. The median describes the middle of the market; condition, floor, outdoor space and energy rating decide where in the band you sit.
With 1,773 sales a year, Pau absorbs correctly priced properties. An over-ambitious price shows quickly, because buyers have points of comparison.
Briveo values your Pau property from the same DVF file, keeping only sales of comparable properties closest to your address, free of charge and with no obligation, then supports the sale through to the deed.
Buying in Pau
Reading the €1,720 to €2,580 band is a buyer’s main tool in Pau. A property at the bottom is not a bargain and one at the top is not a rip-off, the band measures how different the properties are, not how well they are priced.
Prices moving up narrow the room for negotiation without closing it, a property that has been on the market a long time is negotiable whatever the trend says.
Acquisition costs are budgeted on top of the price, around 8 % on an existing property, around 3 % on a new one. These are orders of magnitude; the notary computes the exact amount.

Over the last twelve published months the median apartment price moved by +5.6 %. A move of that size over a single year often reflects a change in what is being sold as much as a change in value.
No five-year reading is available for Pau. The apartment sales we currently use (2023 à 2025) do not go back far enough to compute one, so the long-term direction cannot be stated here.
Among the towns tracked by BRIVEO in the same department, on the median apartment price, Oloron-Sainte-Marie sits 36 % below and Saint-Jean-de-Luz 179 % above. Those are the gaps a buyer widening their search area actually meets.
