The Thermes du Connétable in Châteaubriant brings the French thermal tradition to the border country between Brittany and the Loire, where bicarbonate mineral springs rise from the ancient Armorican schists of eastern Brittany in a landscape of forests, lakes, and hedgerow bocage. The thermal establishment takes its name from Jean de Laval, the celebrated Constable of Châteaubriant, whose magnificent Renaissance château — one of the finest in Loire-Atlantique — overlooks the medieval town and provides an extraordinary historic backdrop for a relaxing stay. The bicarbonate mineral waters are enjoyed in thermal programs within a long French tradition, in an intimate setting characteristic of Brittany's smaller and more personal spa towns. Surrounded by the forests and lakes of the Pays de la Loire and within easy reach of the Loire Valley châteaux to the south, Châteaubriant offers a thermal experience embedded in medieval history and Breton landscape of quiet and underappreciated beauty.

Insider tip — Thermes du Connetable draws bicarbonate waters in the Allier department's thermal heartland at 40 degrees, set within the grand Belle Epoque spa culture that made Vichy and its surrounds France's premier thermal corridor. The Auvergne volcanic plateau provides the geological source for the naturally mineral-rich spring, used for digestive and metabolic cures. The shaded park promenades and the ornate thermal hall architecture reward leisurely morning walks before treatment.
