Description
The Bains du Couloubret are outdoor thermal pools filled with warm mineral-rich water sourced directly from natural springs beneath the ground. The site features pools of varying sizes set among stone walls, pathways, and planted areas, offering a straightforward bathing experience in a quiet mountain setting.
History
The site has served as a healing destination for centuries, with people coming to soak in the warm springs for health and relaxation. In the 19th century, it became a popular destination for visitors across France and has remained a cornerstone of the region's spa tradition ever since.
Culture
The name reflects the site's deep roots in the local community and its role as a gathering place. Today, visitors and residents share the experience of soaking in the mineral waters as part of a tradition that has shaped the town's identity for generations.
Practical

The pools are intentionally kept small to foster a cozy atmosphere rather than grand bathing facilities. This design choice reinforces the timeless, contemplative feeling that many visitors experience as the true appeal of the place.
