Piscine thermale
The thermal bath is a public swimming facility in a small village in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, known for naturally heated mineral waters from underground springs. The facility includes multiple pools with varying temperatures, massage jets, and treatment rooms for mud wraps and therapeutic applications.
The Romans used the hot springs in this area for healing purposes, as shown by archaeological evidence. Over centuries, this evolved into a continuous health resort where visitors came for relief from joint pain and skin conditions.
The name refers to the warm springs that have drawn people here for centuries. The village itself keeps the character of a simple, quiet place where daily life revolves around these natural healing waters.
Visitors should expect simple but functional facilities, with changing rooms and limited locker space for belongings. The site is easily accessible and operates mainly during warmer months, though some facilities remain open year-round.
The water comes from deep underground springs and reaches temperatures around 44 degrees Celsius (111 degrees Fahrenheit), making it particularly rich in minerals like calcium and sulfate. This natural composition makes it a rare example of a mineral spring available with minimal technical intervention.
