Châtel-Guyon, situated on the volcanic piedmont of the Puy-de-Dôme just north of Riom, is renowned for its exceptionally deep-reaching bicarbonate springs, earning the resort an international reputation within a long thermal tradition. The thermal park is laid out in the Belle Époque tradition of shaded promenades, ornamental gardens, and elegant thermal pavilions, while the mineral water — naturally carbonated and precisely mineralized — can also be taken in dedicated drinking sessions. The volcanic Auvergne landscape of extinct cones, lava plateaux, and mineral lakes surrounds Châtel-Guyon, and the summit of Puy-de-Dôme — France's most iconic volcanic peak — is visible on clear days from the thermal park. As one of France's distinctive thermal resorts, Châtel-Guyon has built a long-standing reputation that continues to attract those seeking a classic thermal experience.
