PRESENTATION |
|
| |
 The
village is located in the heart of the Valensole plateau
- renowned for its lavender - between the Luberon and the
Verdon and near the lakes and gorges of the Verdon river.
The landscapes are steeped in sun, a mosaic of colours and
a cocktail of smells … Such are the first offerings
of Gréoux-les-Bains. Patients and tourists make the
most of the health-giving properties of the spa waters in
a superb establishment in gallo-romanesque type architecture
which opens on to gardens and fountains. Christened “the
Verdon’s Romantic Oasis” by Jean Giono, this
spa in the heart of a diverse and generous vegetation in
a dry and sunny climate is a privileged spot for your family
health and leisure.
The
beneficial effects of the thermal waters at Gréoux-Les-Bains
were discovered thousands of years ago.
The Romans built thermal baths there. In the 19th century,
many well-known people came to take the waters; even Pauline
Bonaparte appreciated their virtues.
Today, approximately 27,000 people come every year to take
the waters in this Provençal village.
Overlooked by an ancient castle, Gréoux-les-Bains
enchants the visitor with its winding alleys and shady squares.
To get there from the A 51 motorway, take the scenic D 952
road.
