The Bazin - Tillot spring is located near Pau, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of France. Its bicarbonate water, at around 24°C, feeds an open-air pool suited to wild bathing.

Insider tip — The Bazin-Tillot source emerges at a cooler 24°C just meters from La Commanderie spring near Pau, reflecting the shallower circulation path of this particular upwelling from the same Pyrenean bicarbonate aquifer. The refreshingly cool temperature makes it well-suited for drinking cures and digestive treatments historically practiced in the region. This dual-spring arrangement — a warmer and a cooler source emerging in close proximity — is characteristic of complex Pyrenean geothermal systems. The site is a quiet natural landmark in the rolling Basque countryside south of Pau.
