Bagnoles-de-l'Orne, Thermal spa town in Orne, France
Bagnoles-de-l'Orne is a spa town in Normandy that centers around a lake formed by the Vée River landscape. The town sits within the dense Andaines Forest and features multiple thermal springs and bathing facilities spread throughout the area.
The town grew from three separate communities that later developed into a spa resort and became an independent municipality in 1913. In 2000, it merged with Tessé-la-Madeleine to form the present administrative unit.
The Belle Époque Quarter displays residential villas from the early 20th century with colorful façades and distinctive architectural details built between 1886 and 1914. The architecture still shapes the town's character today and tells the story of its golden era as a spa destination.
The town is best reached by train, as the station offers regular connections to nearby cities. Those planning to stay longer will find various accommodation and dining options throughout the town.
The Château de la Roche Bagnoles serves as the Town Hall today and houses an arboretum with over 160 different tree species on its grounds. This historic building combines administrative functions with an important botanical collection.
