Thermalism

It was in 1881 that the source of the Geyser was discovered in Montrond-les-Bains, while engineers were searching for coal. Thanks to this source, which has a total depth of 502 meters (one of the deepest in the world), the city has been classified as a hydrotherapy resort since 1935. Today, the thermal establishment (which is part of the Thermal Chain of the Sun) welcomes patients from all over France to treat digestive system disorders, metabolic diseases, and rheumatology. This dual therapeutic focus (rheumatology and digestive system) benefits from highly mineralized thermal water, rich in trace elements that have particularly beneficial effects on the entire body.

Next to Les Iléades Thermal Baths, there is now a unique concept thermal spa in the Loire. Its heated indoor and outdoor pools, sauna and steam room area, and experiential showers are accessible to everyone, whether they are undergoing treatment or not.
