Thermes Bains Saint-Pierre

The oldest thermal establishment in Dax, Bains Saint-Pierre carries a history tracing back to the mid-16th century, when the Saint-Pierre spring was already frequented by visitors. What began as a simple wooden hut run by the Mont-de-Marsan almshouses became, in November 1854, the property of Pierre Lauquet, a farmer working the site, who gave the place its official name. The establishment has remained in the same family ever since, generation after generation, a rare continuity for a thermal site.

Around 1967, a swimming pool was built alongside it by private physiotherapists, modernizing the cures and adapting to changes in French health insurance. Today, Bains Saint-Pierre draws on Dax's hyperthermal water and péloïde, the local mud blending Adour river silt with thermal bacteria, for cures focused on rheumatology and phlebology, in a family setting that has stayed true to its roots.
