Thermes de Thonon

Thermes de Thonon are a distinctive thermal establishment in Thonon-les-Bains, the largest French town on the southern shore of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) in the Haute-Savoie department, with panoramic views across the lake toward the Swiss city of Lausanne and the Vaud Alps beyond. The bicarbonate mineral waters, which spring from the geological formations beneath the lake's southern shore, are particularly valued for their therapeutic effects on renal and urological conditions, and have been used medically since ancient times in a setting of exceptional natural beauty on the shores of Europe's largest freshwater lake. The surrounding Lake Geneva waterfront, the Ripaille Château with its medieval tower and Renaissance gardens, and the Savoyard mountain backdrop of the Chablais Alps give Thonon-les-Bains one of the most scenically magnificent settings of any French thermal town.
