BALNEOLOGY AND RESHAPING
Thermes of Gréoux-Les-Bains

  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.
