Thermal water centres and spas for relaxing breaks
The benefits of thermal cures have been widely proven, and the spring waters of Ardeche are renowned for their therapeutic and relaxing properties. Experience these for yourself at our three thermal spa resorts: Vals-les-Bains, Saint-Laurent-les-Bains and Neyrac-les-Bains. We have wonderful wellness spas too with hammam, sauna and a range of other treatments – plenty of options to fill a relaxing weekend break or a longer wellbeing stay. And because there are other ways to relax and switch off, we also offer a range of activities in nature, as well as the chance to eat good, healthy food.
All you have to do is choose between our three thermal resorts:
Vals-les-Bains, the ultra-relaxing spa
Surrounded by a park dotted with historic trees and crossed by the Volane river, a geyser spurts intermittently to a height of 15 metres, a rare natural phenomenon. In addition to medical cures, the resort boasts the luxurious Sequoia Redwood Spa with sensory circuits, massage cubicles, hammam, sauna and Jacuzzi. Don’t miss the famous Maison Beatrix either, a fourth-generation ice cream parlour, or a fun evening at the casino.
Neyrac-les-Bains, the gourmet spa
After your thermal water treatments, enjoy a gastronomic meal in the Brioude restaurant with its sweeping views over the Ardeche valley. You can visit the pretty character village of Meyras and go on to Thueyts to see the basalt columns nicknamed the Giants’ Pavement, as well as the famous Devil’s Bridge.
Saint-Laurent-les-Bains, the artistic spa
Furthest west of the three thermal spa resorts and surrounded by unspoilt countryside, Saint-Laurent-les-Bains makes an idea base for walking. For art lovers or those who just like something a bit unusual, you can follow your treatment programme with a visit to the outdoor artworks along the ‘Partage des Eaux’, an invisible natural watershed line that has been turned into an open air gallery with works such as ‘Grotte de Cristal’ and ‘Terre Loire’.
Discover
Ode to nature and good food
Many local people run discovery courses for visitors to help them benefit from the nature and wild landscapes that are a hallmark of Ardeche. Look out for wild flower workshops, guided walks in search of aromatic and medicinal plants, and mushroom foraging trips.
