Thermes Chevalley

Thermes Chevalley is one of the thermal establishments in Aix-les-Bains, the celebrated French spa city on the shores of Lac du Bourget in Savoie, France's largest natural lake and one of the most romantically atmospheric settings in European thermal culture, where the cold Alpine lake water, the surrounding mountain scenery, and the sulphurous mineral springs that once attracted Victor Hugo, Queen Victoria, and Alphonse Lamartine combine to create a thermal destination of exceptional historical and natural beauty. The mineral springs of Aix-les-Bains, known since Roman times when the city was Aquae Gratianae, have been the foundation of a continuous bathing tradition spanning two millennia, and the nineteenth-century development of the thermal town as the premier French spa resort produced the grand architectural ensemble of thermal halls, casino, and promenades that define Aix-les-Bains's elegant Belle Époque character. Thermes Chevalley contributes to this thermal heritage, offering the therapeutic mineral bathing for which Aix-les-Bains has been prescribed under the French social security system for rheumatic and respiratory conditions for generations.
