Plombières-les-Bains

The thermal commune of Plombières-les-Bains extends across 127 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in eastern France, maintaining numerous hot springs throughout the area.

The Roman Empire first established thermal baths in this location, leading to centuries of development and visits from notable figures including Napoleon III and Count Cavour.

The Church Saint Amé stands as a primary architectural monument of the Second French Empire period, receiving direct funding from Napoleon III's administration.

Visitors access thermal treatments and wellness services at multiple facilities across town, while senior residents receive specialized meal delivery and support services.

The town lends its name to plombir, a type of ice cream popular in Russia, connecting French culinary influence to Eastern European frozen dessert traditions.
