THE THERMAL WATERTHE SPA SEASONSpa season opening dates: from 22 March to 24 November 2021
Since ancient times, the spa resort of Bourbonne-les-Bains has been known for the healing virtues of its waters. Roman centurions took the waters of the resort 2,000 years ago. The hydrothermal spring water of Bourbonne-les-Bains emerges from the depths of the earth at a temperature of 66°C. It acquires mineral properties as it filters down through various layers of rock to a depth of up to 2,000 m. The waters are beneficial for preserving bone capital and countering the effects of aging. Scientifically recognized for its therapeutic effects, the water of Bourbonne-les-Bains is similar to blood plasma: rich in trace elements and mineral salts. The waters have a positive effect on bone metabolism, on the principal factors of demineralisation, and on the respiratory mucous membranes. The spa waters contain minerals, rare metals, and thermal gases that act together on your osteoarticular and respiratory metabolism. They have a total mineralisation of 7.33 g/L and a radioactivity of 223 mµCi/L of gas. The Valvital team is ready to welcome you today to enjoy all these benefits.
