If you enjoy the pleasures of thermal baths, France offers numerous spas in different regions, mainly in mountain or seaside areas. If you are looking for a house to buy, why not consider the spa towns located all over France?
With more than 1200 springs, France counts 102 spas and a long history of more than 2000 years. The balneology lists all activities linked to the use of thermal baths. Since the Antique Period and mainly since the medieval times, medical properties were given to spring waters.  But nowadays, the term “spa” is very different to what it was before because it has become medicalized. Recognized as a necessity by the French Health Insurance in many cases, it is possible to treat various pathologies such as rheumatology, osteoporosis or even sleep problems or tobacco addiction.

No matter where you are located in France, you will be able to find a spa. If you plan to visit the Charente-Maritime and enjoy the fresh air of the Atlantic Ocean, you can stop to Jonzac. The medieval city owns a health club “Antilles de Jonzac”. Like this, visitors can enjoy the benefits of the springs of Jonzac, safe from all pollution. Extremely pure, Jonzac waters come from the depths of the ground, rich in trace elements. Open from March to December, the thermal baths are situated in old quarries that allow calm and relaxation. Jonzac is a great spot because it allows various activities that can be perfectly combined with the pleasures of the spa.

If you are more interested in the south of France, you have the possibility to link the benefits of the sun to the thermal baths in Aix en Provence for example. Located in the region Provence Cote d’Azur, its name “Aquae“ – meaning in Latin “Eaux”- was given in 102 before JC in reference to the Roman thermal baths located in the city. Since 10,000 years, the water has its spring in the famous Sainte-Victoire Mountain and it comes out in the heart of Aix en Provence. The Roman consul Caius Sextius founded the Thermes Sextius at this exact location. The pure waters of Aix en Provence contain numerous trace elements, calcium, lithium and magnesium.
