In Gréoux-les-Bains, in Provence, thermal bathing dates back to antiquity: the Celto-Ligurians already knew these hot sulfur waters and named the site "Grésilium." Numerous Gallo-Roman remains testify to continuous use of the site before the spring, forgotten during the barbarian invasions, was rediscovered in 1619 by Jacques Fontaine, physician to the king. The 19th century marked a major scientific turning point, with in-depth study of the water's composition and the rise of modern spa facilities under the Second Empire.

Today's aquatic space draws its water from the Griffon spring, more than 1,200 meters underground, lightly mineralized but rich in sulfates, sodium, magnesium and potassium. The circuit offers a heated thermal pool, jacuzzi, hammam and sauna, open without a medical prescription, carrying on a spa tradition more than two thousand years old.

Insider tip — Lake Sainte-Croix 15 km away (the 2nd largest lake in France) offers canoeing, kayaking, and swimming in turquoise water — the ideal day: the lake in the morning, the baths in the evening.
